Euroforum

What Euroforum does

Euroforum B.V. is a privately held Dutch professional education and conference organization founded in 1974 and headquartered in Eindhoven, Netherlands. It operates a portfolio of more than 250 annual congresses, courses, training programs, and incompany (in-house B2B) training sessions targeting working professionals across verticals including Klimaat & Energie, Financieel, Juridisch, Data & AI, and Skills. The company runs two principal domain properties (euroforum.nl and sbo.nl) and operates wholly-owned sub-brands Studiecentrum voor Bedrijf en Overheid (SBO), Nederlands Instituut voor de Bouw (NIB), and Secretary Management Institute (SMI) that serve adjacent professional segments such as healthcare, education, construction, and government.

The underlying technology stack is modest and oriented toward event delivery rather than software: a "Mijn Online Leeromgeving" digital learning environment (mijnonlineleeromgeving.nl) that distributes course materials, video recordings, articles, and assignments with instructor/student interaction; webinar and virtual event platforms for hybrid programming; and a content marketing hub (blog.euroforum.nl) plus social channels (LinkedIn, X, YouTube). Training programs use the Cegos 4REAL® blended learning methodology as a partner-licensed approach.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-seat registration fees for open-enrollment courses and congresses (typical pricing €295–€1,899 per attendee depending on program duration and category) and through customized incompany contracts (e.g., €3,950 for groups up to 8 persons for the Growth Mindset incompany offering). The go-to-market is sales-led with a hybrid mix of self-serve individual registration and direct B2B sales into organizational L&D buyers at government bodies, financial institutions, energy companies, construction firms, and healthcare providers. Customer concentration is intentionally diversified across sector verticals; named clients include Rabobank, TenneT, Heijmans, Boskalis, ABN AMRO, Gemeente Rotterdam, Gemeente Amsterdam, Ministerie van Defensie, Kadaster, TU Delft, OLVG, and Peel en Maas, with operational reach limited to the Netherlands.
