Artefact’s model began by leveraging the expertise of Artefact France, the firm’s largest subsidiary and Global Headquarter, to accelerate the Dutch launch. This enabled the Netherlands office to secure initial contracts with major clients such as Heineken, JDE, and Adyen, quickly building critical mass. Over the past 11 years, the team has grown to 70+ employees, establishing itself as a hub covering Benelux and the Nordics.

The partnership between France and the Netherlands has evolved into a reciprocal, cross-border delivery model, with teams jointly executing end-to-end projects and sharing expertise. Today, Artefact Northern Europe serves as the Global Center of Excellence for Measurement Models, supporting European expansion and contributing capabilities to the company’s wider international network.

“Winning this award confirms the success of the Franco-Dutch strategy we built from day one. By initially leveraging the expertise of our Paris Headquarters and quickly pivoting to a genuine two-way partnership, we have achieved exceptional results and true market leadership. We are proud to be a French company, bringing our values and expertise across Europe, and celebrating our milestone of becoming a unicorn. I look forward to continuing this expansion and solidifying our position as the leading European AI consulting partner.”

says Arnold Struik, Managing Partner Europe, Artefact
