What TriMotion Visuals does

TriMotion Visuals is a private Dutch maatschap (partnership) headquartered in Hengelo, Netherlands, that provides service design, creative technology, and visual storytelling services to government, educational, and cultural-sector clients. Founded in 2007 and reorganized into an eight-person co-owned partnership in 2016, the firm combines concept development, creative design, creative technology, web/app development, and project strategy under one roof. Its technical capabilities span projection mapping, augmented reality, interactive light and wall installations, 3D animation, data visualization, and web platform development, supported by a proprietary four-phase service-design methodology called YouLab.

The company delivers commissioned projects on a per-engagement basis — there is no SaaS pricing and no publicly disclosed rate card. Revenue is generated through direct project commissions sourced primarily through regional relationships in the Twente area, with notable engagements including the Urenco Nederland interactive wall at Oyfo Techniekmuseum (multi-year), the Techniekroute AR walking route for ROC van Twente, projection-mapping shows such as LICHT Hengelo and Enschede Lights Up, citizen-participation tools for Gemeente Apeldoorn, and digital products such as the Centraal Register Techniek register and Vakpaspoort app. Beyond client work, TriMotion operates community assets including the Makerslab workshop and The Blackbox experimental venue at Broedplaats Oogst in Hengelo, and co-founded the Smart A.F. cooperative in 2019 to support IT talent with labor-market barriers.

TriMotion serves three primary verticals — government and public sector, cultural institutions and museums, and education/training — with a secondary segment in community and neighborhood organizations. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on project case studies on its website, regional cultural-event visibility, and a tight referral network across Twente municipalities and cultural partners. There are no external funding rounds, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue figures; the firm operates as a self-funded partnership with eight co-owners.
