At PNA, we believe in co-creation. Through collaboration. Because cross-pollination—the exchange of knowledge and information—enables growth and creates added value. Partnerships are the driving force behind our innovation. PNA has always worked closely with innovative projects in the fields of knowledge, data, processes, and communication.
We have formulated common strategic goals with various parties and share interests in the field of knowledge management. PNA is always open to new partners, regardless of their sector. For us, an open and innovative mindset is paramount.
Just as PNA doesn’t think in terms of standard solutions, we’re also creative in our relationships with current and future clients: we believe in partnerships that benefit both parties. Partnerships where both sides learn from each other and solutions that are tailored to your needs. And because we believe in the products and services we deliver together with our clients, we are also regularly part of consortia. We hope you’ll find inspiration here, and we’d love to hear your ideas.
Maybe that’s the start of our shared success.

Brightlands believes in fostering talent, knowledge, and ambition. The ELSA Lab on Financial Health, Poverty, and Debt is part of the Brightlands Smart Services Campus and aims to use data science and AI to reduce and prevent poverty and problematic debt in the Netherlands. PNA is part of this ELSA Lab because, given our focus on knowledge and “explainable AI,” we can contribute to this objective. In addition, Maurice Nijssen, director of PNA, is a board member of the Brightlands Business Club, which fosters connections between entrepreneurs and the Brightlands organization.
The collaboration with Maastricht University is based on a number of shared goals: conducting scientific research and offering high-quality educational programs. PNA regularly offers courses in the fields of knowledge management, digitization, and business analysis.
Professor Frank Harmsen, director of PNA, is a professor of “Digital Enterprise / Transformation” at the university’s School of Business and Economics (Frank Harmsen (A.F.) – Maastricht University ). In addition, we have been involved with KE@Work from the very beginning (Honors program ), a unique learning/work program offered by the Department of Data Science and Knowledge Engineering (DKE)
The Dutch healthcare system is undergoing a transformation. We are moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment and toward care that is specifically tailored to the individual. This form of care is called precision medicine. The Personalized Healthcare Catalyst Foundation was established in late 2019 with the goal of accelerating the transition to personalized care. PNA is also a member of the alliance.
The Institute for Brilliant Failures (IvBM) aims to foster a climate for entrepreneurship by teaching people how to manage risks and how to value and learn from failures. PNA is collaborating with the IvBM on BriMis, a digital learning environment that enables the IvBM to facilitate organizational learning in a simple and engaging way.
Knowtice supports organizations in a dynamic, knowledge-driven economy. To this end, it has developed the Knowledge Scorecard. This is a tool that enables these organizations and their employees to gain insight into the value of knowledge, mitigate risks, and capitalize on opportunities. Despite the recognition that knowledge is incredibly important, organizations still rarely conduct a systematic assessment of their knowledge capital. This results in blind spots, with all the consequences that entails. With the Knowledge Scorecard, Knowtice introduces a method and a tool to perform the necessary analyses easily and independently. The solution is based on both scientific research and practical experience. The Knowledge Scorecard can be used by anyone with a stake in measuring, improving, and predicting a company’s performance. The tool therefore offers applications for various target groups, such as investors, executive boards, managers, employees, consulting firms, and accountants. Knowtice is the result of a collaboration between PNA, COMPO, and KnocoM.
