Financial terms of the transaction are not disclosed.
IG&H is a Dutch digital transformation specialist with an end-to-end service offering, including consultancy and advisory, data analytics, low code application development and digital solutions based on proprietary intellectual property.

The Company is headquartered in Utrecht, the Netherlands and employs 350 people with additional locations in Lisbon, Porto and Munich – a newly established office to serve the DACH market. Following its development to full digital transformation in recent years, the Company has more than doubled its number of full-time employees and nearly doubled revenues since 2018.

The support of IK, with their deep market expertise and pan-European presence, will allow us to support our clients better and pursue further international expansion and solidify our position in both the Benelux and DACH markets.”
Norman Bremer, Partner at IK and Advisor to the IK IX Fund, added: “IG&H has recorded impressive growth in the digital transformation market with the expert guidance of an experienced management team under Jan van Hasenbroek.
