Behind the spark.

Personal stories of Nedappers.

At Nedap, we believe that growth is personal. In Behind the spark, colleagues from different teams share their own stories. About what drives them, how they shape their work, and where they want to make an impact. Because it’s their ideas, choices, and energy that make us create Technology for Life. Together. And it’s that unique contribution of every Nedapper that we call the spark.
