In addition, the partnership highlights the joint commitment to the Twente region. By investing in local talent, both parties strengthen not only individual development, but also the future strength of the region as a whole.
Both Demcon and the FC Twente/Heracles Academy strongly believe in developing potential. The academy focuses daily on the athletic and personal development of young football players, while Demcon has long been committed to supporting technical talent that contributes to innovative solutions for societal challenges. This shared focus on growth, guidance and performance forms the foundation of the collaboration.
For Demcon, the collaboration aligns seamlessly with its ambition to be an attractive employer for talent. “We believe that people progress when they are given trust, responsibility and opportunities to develop – just like in elite sport,” says Emma van Geel. “That is what makes this partnership such a natural fit.”
With this partnership, Demcon and the FC Twente/Heracles Academy look forward to a sustainable collaboration in which development, ambition and regional pride take centre stage.
