KlaarMind helped to deliver Netherlands Business Register POC

Utrecht, Netherlands — KlaarMind has successfully completed a hands-on proof-of-concept (POC) for the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (KVK), helping to build the foundational vision for a modernized business register system. The project, delivered between May 2025 and November 2025 in Utrecht, represents a significant cross-border collaboration between Estonian digital expertise and Dutch public-sector innovation, bringing together KlaarMind and Estonian companies Tulepaak (https://www.tulepaak.ee/) and RedFunction (https://redfunction.ee/), and KVK's local expert team (https://www.kvk.nl/).

KlaarMind experts Tambet Artma and Mari Sander were part of the project and helped with the POC development, executing a comprehensive range of tasks from analysis and consultancy to prototyping, frontend development, and result validation. The team treated the POC not as a theoretical exercise but as a real business register with authentic workflows and data, ensuring the deliverable would serve as a practical basis for KVK's future system. This approach meant every component—from user interfaces to data exchange mechanisms—was built to reflect actual operational requirements.

The project's core focus was creating a scalable architecture for the new Netherlands business register, with emphasis on trust, transparency, and interoperability. Drawing on Estonia's proven digital government model—including experiences with eID, X-Road, and beneficial owners—the team demonstrated how secure data exchange and seamless interoperability can underpin public-sector systems. Key takeaways included the importance of treating POCs as production-ready prototypes and the value of pairing technical implementation with policy-level thinking from day one.

This collaboration underscores how Estonia's digital government expertise can support international public-sector transformation while maintaining the same standards of security, interoperability and user-centricity that define Estonian e-services. The KVK business register POC now provides a concrete foundation for the future Netherlands' next-generation system, demonstrating that cross-border partnerships grounded in practical delivery can accelerate digital transformation while building trust in digital services across jurisdictions.
