PROGEST helps<\/h2>\n<p>Do you want to sell your invention or idea to a company? Then get to know PROGEST. PROGEST was founded in 1999 by Rob Erkelens. We focus entirely on companies with innovative ideas, inventors and designers. When you are an inventor with a good idea, it often happens that you do not have the know-how to actually market and sell your product. Selling your invention to a company that can market your product is a wise choice in such a situation. We at PROGEST can help you with that. You can come to us with any idea, applied to both business and consumer markets. Are you an inventor or a company looking for a partner to guide you through the process of marketing your product? Then contact PROGEST, or read more about our way of working.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;ABOUT PROGEST&#8221; link=&#8221;url:%2Fen%2Fabout-progest%2F&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1688389528201{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>WHY PROGEST?<\/h2>\n<h3>Why launch your unique idea with us?<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"img-text-box\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon-usp1.svg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n1.
