but growth entrepreneurs.

How often used the term 'innovation' may be in the meantime, how important it remains to keep applying the principle. In uncertain periods, it is important to keep spotting opportunities, seizing them and doing something with them. As entrepreneurs, not consultants, we at Stretch focus on the full realization of an innovation project as if it were our own: from start-up to execution and follow-up, we are involved in every step of the process. We do this with one goal in mind: to make you grow in the most efficient, not-to-time-consuming way possible.

From post-it to new customer

From brainstorming to identifying opportunities, realizing and validating them and also effectively integrating them into the market: Stretch guides its partners from A to Z.

Co-entrepreneurs

As innovative entrepreneurs, we tackle every project like it would be ours. We therefore pursue KPIs, and do not work according to the principle of 'hourly billing'.

Data-driven

Start from experience: based on in-depth market insights, data-driven trends, as well as continuous monitoring by stakeholders, we learn from the past of your business. We apply this know-how to current and new innovation projects.

Cross-industry

By looking across borders, both international and cross-industry, Stretch offers diverse opportunities for your business.

Stretch our story

FROM PASSION TO BUSINESS
2018

From a common passion for entrepreneurship and a great need for retail software for preschool and baby stores, Stijn van Daele and Filip Smet, started Noah Retail in 2018. A joint adventure that turned out to bear fruit and made you long for an even more intensive collaboration.

TO A NEW BUSINESS
2020

Because seeing a gap in the market and then creating a completely new business model is not always easy. With the experience that Stijn and Filip gained in developing Noah Retail, they soon discovered another business model: that of innovation and digitalization projects. Thus, in 2020 Stretch Innovation was born, which also helps other companies with new ideas and to realize their elaboration and go-to-market.

THAT KEEPS ON GROWING
2022

An idea that also caught on effectively. Anno 2022 Stretch already worked with more than 10 partners, realized more than 50 projects and expanded its team from 2 entrepreneurs, to 10 entrepreneurs. So we don't only Stretch your business, but we are also still working on ours ;)!
