Ignite Group, a full-service solutions provider for grant acquisition and management, proudly announces the acquisition of AC Adviseurs, a respected name in the grants landscape. With this acquisition, Ignite Group further shapes its buy & build strategy. Following the recent acquisition of Ruber Acia, Ignite Group is strengthening its presence in the Northern Netherlands by establishing a nationwide office network. This expansion allows Ignite Group to combine expertise and resources more effectively, enabling it to better meet the needs of customers in the Northern Netherlands.
The acquisition of AC Adviseurs enhances Ignite Group’s capacity to innovate, ensure service quality, and develop new offerings. Supported by Ignite Group, AC Adviseurs’ customers will benefit from even higher quality services in an ever-changing environment. This includes access to an extensive international network of grant specialists and diverse digital solutions that Ignite Group offers and develops for its customers.
In the coming months, AC Adviseurs will undergo a careful integration into Ignite Group. For now, AC Adviseurs will continue to operate under its own name, supported by Ignite Group.
“With this acquisition, we take another significant step towards our goal of becoming the market leader in the field of grants in the Netherlands. Following the recent acquisition of Ruber Acia and now AC Adviseurs, we have physical offices in Groningen, Drenthe, and Friesland. This has created a fully nationwide office network. This allows us to offer all our employees workplaces within a short travel distance and to serve our customers locally,” said Henk Heerink, CEO of Ignite Group.
Wietse van Koeveringe, partner at AC Adviseurs, stated: “In our industry, expertise is becoming increasingly specific and talent scarcer. By collaborating with Ignite Group, we strengthen our combined knowledge and can ensure the quality of our services while offering new services to our customers. This collaboration provides our employees with more opportunities to further develop their talents.”
