MonetDB B.V. facilitates the efforts of scientific personnel and stimulates joint ventures in specific market segments. "A high tech company, on the one hand close to research and on the other at armslength from venture capitalists, is a very good base to facilitate technical innovation", Martin Kersten, founder and Director of MonetDB B.V. said. The company's primary task is to control, maintain and spread the open source database management system MonetDB.
