Ondernemers Coöperatie Tiel

What Ondernemers Coöperatie Tiel does

Ondernemers Coöperatie Tiel (OCT) is a Dutch cooperative (Coöperatie U.A.) founded in 2002 and headquartered in Zoelmond, Netherlands, whose members are businesses established on the four industrial estates of Tiel — Kellen, Latenstein, Westroijen, and Bedrijvenpark Medel. The cooperative bundles the collective forces of these member businesses around a portfolio of shared services: the Glasnet Tiel open fiber optic network covering all four estates, the SBBT collective camera surveillance and security foundation, the 'Zon op Bedrijfsdaken' rooftop solar initiative (approximately 30,000 panels installed), a quarterly OCT Magazine, regular network meetings, and park-management support across the four estates. Day-to-day operations are run by a small permanent staff (Secretary, Park Manager, Policy Advisor) under a board of approximately eight elected entrepreneur-members that convenes roughly eight times per year.

OCT generates revenue primarily through recurring cooperative membership fees paid by member businesses, with supplementary income or value created through joint initiatives such as solar rooftop coordination (with ECONNETIC as implementation partner), energy-transition consulting via S-TEC, and workforce-development partnerships. The cooperative holds strategic ties with Gemeente Tiel, Coöperatie Medel, Securitas B.V. (collective security provider since January 2025), VNO-NCW Midden, Logistics Valley Rivierenland, and educational partners including ROC Rivor and HAN Hub Rivierenland.

OCT has no external investors, no subsidiaries, no patents or trademarks, no disclosed funding rounds, and no AI/ML capability narrative. Its competitive positioning rests on the difficulty of replicating its cross-estate collective security, shared fiber infrastructure, Keurmerk Veilig Ondernemen (KVO) certification across all four estates, and sustained municipal access — assets that accrue only through long-tenured, multi-stakeholder coordination specific to Tiel's industrial geography at the A15 and Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal corridor.
