Recommendations - Research Project Maastricht

“On behalf of Maastricht University and with pleasure, I wholeheartedly support the students who participate in Research Project Maastricht 2027. The project testifies to the truly international orientation of our university, and our students. In addition, the company-specific research that the Research Project Maastricht will be conducting in South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique is a good example of our worldwide efforts to close the gap between research and business. Both aspects fill me with great pride.”

Prof. Dr. Pamela Habibović – President, Maastricht University

“In 2023, Hydrex NV and Subsea Industries commissioned the Maastricht Research Project, to conduct marketing research for us in Chile. The research was to gather information about the market in Chile mainly for our non-toxic ship hull coatings. It included looking into the potential interest in our products in Chile especially in the fishing industry as well as gathering data on regulations. The Maastricht Research Project impressed us from the start with their professionalism and excellent communication and follow-up. After the initial briefing and discussions we had excellent hopes that they would do a great job and that the project would be well worth the investment. As it turned out, they far exceeded our expectations and were instrumental in helping open up the market in Chile for our products. We have since made considerable progress and now have an active agency representing us in the country who are making many contacts and have secured the first order. The greatest value of the very well presented report was that it showed us the exact correct approach to the Chilean market. And our follow-up has confirmed the accuracy of the project and the report. We are very grateful to Research Project Maastricht, would recommend them to anyone without reservation, and hope we will have a chance to work with them again.”
