What Dialogic innovatie & interactie does

Dialogic innovatie & interactie is an independent Dutch policy research and advisory bureau founded in 1998 and headquartered at Hooghiemstraplein 33 in Utrecht. The firm is organized as a private partnership (vof) owned and led by its partners, who also work as researchers and advisors on client projects; this partner-led structure is presented as the mechanism preserving the firm's independence and the quality of its research output. Dialogic employs approximately 40 professionals with backgrounds in public administration, economics, and technical disciplines, and operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Dialogic Onderzoek BV, that houses a statistical enclave for microdata research under Dutch statistical authority protocols.

The firm's core service portfolio consists of six lines: Policy Research (beleidsonderzoek), Data & AI Solutions, Dashboards, Evaluation and Monitoring, Infographics and Visualizations, and Strategic Advice. Underlying technical capabilities include machine learning, AI algorithms, natural language processing, text classification, text mining, and structured-data analytics, which are applied within commissioned research rather than packaged as standalone software. Named products include the D3 Wijkscan municipal health-data dashboard and education-labor market monitors that visualize sector-level linkages. Information security is managed under an ISO 27001-aligned policy.

Dialogic generates revenue through professional services engagements, predominantly with Dutch national ministries (OCW, LVVN, EZK, IenW), provincial authorities (e.g., Gelderland), municipalities (e.g., The Hague), knowledge institutions, and international bodies including the European Commission, OECD, and the Flemish government. Projects are acquired through formal tender processes and recurring direct commissions. The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supported by a bi-monthly newsletter and LinkedIn presence. No public revenue figures are disclosed.
