Our Mission

Driven by trust, build to empower, designed to unburden

Data is an organisation's most valuable asset. Collaboration turns that value into progress, and that only happens when there's trust. That's why our mission is to give organisations the full control they need to build that trust, at any scale, so the researchers who depend on their data are free to discover and to move research forward.

Our History

From Research Problem to myDRE

It started at a kitchen table in the Netherlands, where an idea for a better way to work with research data became RSRCH platform and later myDRE. From private cloud to Microsoft Azure, myDRE grew into a secure, scalable Digital Research Environment built for real-world research. Today, all Dutch UMCs, and many other organizations, use myDRE as part of the national research data infrastructure, backed by ISO-27001 certification and the NIS-2 SC-30 quality mark. myDRE is more than a platform — it's a trusted environment for sensitive data and collaboration.
