Holland Sensor Completes Second Investment Round
In a time when many technological startups are entering the market, Holland Sensor proves itself to be a promising player in water quality technology. The company has successfully completed its second investment round. Following an initial round funded by business angels, strategic investor Albert van Beek has now provided financial support. Van Beek, a critical and strategic thinker, believes Holland Sensor’s technology is essential for the future of water management. He states: “I had been looking for a meaningful investment opportunity for some time. I genuinely believe that Holland Sensor, with its Mizu®Sensor, can make the world a better place, and I am happy to contribute to that.” The new funding will accelerate the market introduction of Holland Sensor’s innovative sensor technology. Additionally, by mid-2025, the company will relocate to a larger facility in Driebergen, creating expanded research and laboratory facilities.
The Growing Importance of Water Management
Water management, both in quality and quantity, is becoming increasingly critical worldwide. Holland Sensor addresses this challenge with the Mizu® sensor, a digital solution for fast and precise water quality measurements, particularly for detecting metals and other contaminants on laboratory level.
The unique Mizu®Sensor is designed for use in process water, drinking water, wastewater, and surface water and provides measurement results within minutes. Through direct cloud-based reporting, water managers and industries can respond immediately to contamination, saving crucial time compared to traditional laboratory analyses.
With this innovation, Holland Sensor reinforces its commitment to providing reliable and sustainable measurement solutions for the water sector.
Second Investment Round Exceeded Expectations
Paul Hoogewind, CFO of Holland Sensor, stated: “The first investment round last year went well, but this second round exceeded our expectations. Thanks to product advancements and positive validation results in recent months, investor interest was high.”Holland Sensor’s founder and CEO, Leo de Zeeuw, added: “Our choice to initially work with business angels gave us flexibility and agility. This second round moved even faster, and it’s great to have an experienced entrepreneur recognize our potential and invest. This allows us to move forward with our plans.”
Focus on Product Development and Research
The raised funds will be used to prepare the Portable Mizu® Systems (PMS) for sale and to accelerate the development of the Stationary Mizu® System (SMS). Additionally, Holland Sensor is launching a practical research study to explore whether its technology can also be used for PFAS detection, with initial results showing promise.
Future Outlook
With the successful completion of this investment round, Holland Sensor takes a significant step toward international expansion. The company remains focused on innovation, sustainability, and improving water quality worldwide. CEO Leo de Zeeuw emphasized:
“The strong interest from major international players proves that Holland Sensor is on the right track.”
