CICP

What CICP does

CICP (Capital Investments Contracting Partners) is a Dutch professional services firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands. The company is organized as a Cooperatief U.A. (Cooperation with restricted liability under Dutch law), functioning as an association of independent professionals who combine their expertise under a common legal platform. CICP targets enterprise corporations across process industries including oil & gas, petrochemicals, power, environmental, renewables, and infrastructure, with stated local presence in Dubai, Abu Dhabi (UAE), Saudi Arabia, and France.

The firm delivers four core service pillars: Consultancy (strategic business development, international business development, project finance, market entry strategies, M&A advisory, and "Cold Eye Reviews"), Training & Workshops (sales training, recruitment process, career development, and energy industry knowledge), Executive Placement (senior executive search), and (Online) Industry Events (programming, hosting, and guest speakers). A fifth offering, Capital Investment Considerations, bundles market research, benchmarking, project finance strategy, contracting strategy, and customer satisfaction surveys for capital investment projects.

CICP's business model is services-based, generating revenue through bespoke consultancy engagements rather than productized or recurring software revenue. The company has only 5 listed employees and operates without disclosed funding, public listing, or institutional backers. Go-to-market is direct field sales targeting enterprise clients requiring senior advisory for capital investments, supported by a regional associate network in the Middle East and Europe. No technology platforms, AI capabilities, mobile applications, or APIs are disclosed. Marketing channels are limited to LinkedIn and direct professional referrals.
