Extraqt is strenghtening its Board with 3 experienced advisors
“Exciting Milestone” – This is exactly the message of the Management team of Extraqt when they introduced this week their very first Board of Advisors meeting!
EXTRAQT are aquathermal experts. Being an engineering & consulting company they consider surface water as a sustainable heat source for buildings…
As a innovative scale-up they are 100% devoted to aquathermal energy as a heat pump technology. Their engineers and project managers develop thermal models to determine the potential of rivers, lakes and canals and convert them into operational installations.
” The advisors’ experience and strategic insights will help us take the right steps in the months ahead ” (quote by co-founder Stijn De Jonge) on LinkedIn.
Why initiating a Board of Advisors?
A board of advisors provides scale‑ups with experienced guidance to navigate rapid growth. They help founders avoid common strategic pitfalls and make more informed decisions.
Overall, a strong advisory board increases credibility, resilience, and long‑term success.
The start of such a new Board of Advisors is requiring a “balancing act”.
Advisors need time to align on priorities and build trust with the leadership team. Maintaining consistent engagement and momentum can be challenging during rapid growth.
The strategic framework to continue to scale
Extraqt’s strategic direction and ambitions are clear:
👉 Accelerate national & international expansion
👉 Further refine and strengthen our product & solutions offering
👉 Build even stronger thought leadership in aquathermal energy
These initiatives will be further developed with the Board of Advisors as a sounding board in the coming months!
