AI workshops in Veendam
Veendam is known as the Parkstad for good reason, with a solid industry behind all that greenery. With an AI workshop your team learns to put AI to practical use straight away, in-company at your own location.
Why a workshop, and why here
Veendam runs on manufacturing and logistics. Along the A.G. Wildervanck canal you find companies such as Nedmag, Kisuma and Groningen Railport, and at Dallen, Zwaaikom and Tradepark a broad mix of entrepreneurs. Many of them are drowning in quotes, schedules and order admin.
AI only works once your team actually uses it. That is why we often start with a workshop: hands-on, with examples from your own work, so it saves time the very next day.

From sceptical to building your own in a day
In an in-company workshop your team gets hands-on: drafting orders and quotes, summarising documents, and building a first tool of their own with AI.
No theory, but applying it straight to your own work. We finish with an adoption plan, so it sticks and does not stay a nice day out.
This is how we run an in-company workshop; we tailor the content to your team.

Meet Empathree
Empathree is an AI agency from Groningen. We help SMEs use AI not as a toy, but as something that genuinely takes work off your plate. Always with a human checking the output.
What we believe
AI is fast, but speed alone delivers nothing. The value sits in the last 30 percent: judgement, nuance, knowing which question to ask. So we never start with a tool. First we map your process, then we look at where most time leaks away, and only then decide what AI handles and what stays human work.
How we work
We work at fixed prices, no billing by the hour. You know where you stand up front. We often start with a workshop to get your team on board, then build a working system step by step, and make bespoke software where it pays off. In our own Empathree Studio we build in our developers' coding style, so everything ships secure and production-ready.
Who you get
Behind Empathree are Marc Cornelius, Maarten Oostland and René Vrieling. Marc and Maarten handle strategy, workshops and implementation, René is the lead developer who makes the software watertight. All three of us live in Groningen, so you deal with local people who build with AI every day. We only teach what we use ourselves.
Why humans in the loop
The world is filling up with automated AI slop. Our answer is simple: the human stays in the loop. With us, and with you. That is how you keep control, quality and trust, even as the technology keeps getting faster.
