BUILDING A HOUSE OF VITAL TECH BRANDS SAFEGUARDING OUR DIGITAL SOCIETY
The Dutch Entrepreneur Continuity (DEC) Alliance is a collaborative alliance of and for Dutch tech entrepreneurs. We participate in vibrant, medium-sized, and profitable digital infrastructure and IT service providers (tech and tech-enabled), with recurring revenue and demonstrable growth potential. These companies contribute to the digital backbone of the Netherlands and the EU.
We're here for the long term. Where investment firms primarily invest, we consciously choose to participate. Not driven by short-term cycles or profitability pressure, but by continuity and value creation. In tech services. In entrepreneurship. In ownership. That's our Rhineland signature, anchored in an evergreen participation model.
OUR THREE PILLARS OF CONTINUITY
Continuity demands companies that continue to invest in technology, talent, and innovation, supported by a solid financial foundation for sustainable value creation. Our evergreen investment model offers a mature alternative to short-cycle, withdrawing investors and protects both companies and society from rapid foreign acquisitions and geopolitical pressure.
Continuity in Tech services
Vital digital infrastructures and mission-critical services, close by, stable and secure.
Continuity in Entrepreneurship
Companies that strengthen each other's growth, innovation and market position within a peer business alliance.
Continuity in Ownership
An evergreen model with no exit pressure; solid margins, a strong financial base, room for investment, and employee participation.
ECOSYSTEM FOR DIGITAL BACKBONE
Europe is entering a new phase: vital digital infrastructure and IT services increasingly need to be built, managed, and financed locally. DEC facilitates this as a platform for a strong, independent, and future-proof digital Europe; selective in participation, European in ambition, and operating at the intersection of digitalization and societal relevance.
DEC focuses on mission-critical technology and IT service providers in vital sectors such as healthcare, government, education, defense, energy, mobility, and financial services.Our domain focus encompasses cloud, security, data & AI, DevOps, managed services, and SaaS—the building blocks for digital autonomy, resilience, and innovation. We are building an ecosystem around major social, economic, and technological themes, in which participating companies complement each other and strengthen each other substantively, strategically, and operationally.
