What Connect Holland does

Connect Holland was founded in 1999 in the Netherlands as a digital services firm exploring how digital technology could be applied to improve products, companies, and society. After operating under the Connect Holland name for 23 years, the company rebranded to Harborn Digital on February 1, 2022, accompanied by a relocation of its headquarters to Westblaak 39 in Rotterdam. The firm is structured as a subsidiary of Boer & Croon, a Dutch management consulting and interim management group, and operates with a horizontal client segmentation approach across the Netherlands market from offices in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

Harborn Digital operates as a digital agency delivering cloud computing, web design, e-commerce platforms, and mobile application development, alongside broader digital transformation consulting. The company frames its evolved positioning around handling data, technology, and interaction 'in a smart and responsible way,' positioning itself between classic agency delivery and consulting-led digital strategy. It maintains ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 9001 (quality management) certifications via DigiTrust, and holds a Great Place To Work certificate, signaling enterprise readiness for security-conscious engagements and an established workplace culture. Marketing channels are predominantly organic (LinkedIn, Instagram, Spotify playlist presence, newsletter), with no disclosed third-party distribution or channel partner program.

The business model is services-led and project-based with undisclosed pricing; no public ARR, revenue, deal sizes, or pricing tiers are available, and no customer logos, segment breakdowns, or repeat-client commentary are disclosed. The firm ranks in the Emerce 100 - Beste Bedrijven e-business 2025 list but no financials are public. Headcount is in the 101-250 range, indicating an established mid-sized Dutch digital agency with implied revenue in the low double-digit USD millions. There is no disclosed equity funding history, and ownership sits with Boer & Croon, which positions the entity to access consulting and interim-management channels but limits external M&A or investment signals.
