Jochem Wolthuis is more than a Germany expert — he is a master at connecting people, missions, and markets. As a former International Director of the GroentenFruit Bureau, he brought together countless professionals, companies, and countries around one goal: sustainable growth through collaboration. With decades of experience in the German food market, protein transition, sustainable innovation, and behavioral change, he knows better than anyone how inner strength and collective growth lead to lasting success.
In his inspiring lectures, Jochem takes you through the Mannschaft mentality, where discipline, trust, and team spirit come together. He shows how we move from I to we, how clusters reflect our own growth, and what happens when you combine German collaboration with Dutch innovative strength. Whether you are working on leadership, collaboration, or sustainable progress — Jochem offers insight, inspiration, and action.
An experience that lingers, as it touches the core: Growth begins from within — but truly flourishes in connection with others.
As the coordinator of the PIB cluster “Die Neuen Protein NL Partner für Deutschland,” Jochem brought together Dutch and German companies to develop plant-based alternatives for products like currywurst — a concrete example of how vision, connection, and decisiveness reinforce each other.
In his lectures, he combines personal development with proven practical insights:
• How do you start growth within yourself, and how do you transform that into a shared ambition?
• How do you bring different parties — cultures, disciplines, backgrounds — into one fluid interplay?
• What can you learn from the German Mannschaft mentality and Dutch innovative strength?
True collaboration starts with inner strength and self-awareness. Using the German Mannschaft mentality as an example, I demonstrate how personal growth and team spirit reinforce each other and lead to sustainable results.
We live in a time where individual success often takes centre stage. But it is precisely the step towards collective growth – from ‘I’ to ‘we’ – that opens the door to innovation, resilience, and lasting success.
What makes collaboration in Germany so powerful? And how can you translate those principles to your own development and that of your organisation? An inspiring look at the power of discipline, trust, and shared goals.
Clusters and partnerships are more than business constructs. They are a reflection of how we can grow individually and collectively. This lecture shows how the interplay of ego and ecosystem leads to lasting progress.
Germany excels in teamwork, the Netherlands in innovation. What happens when you combine the two? An inspiring journey through culture, inner development, and the art of becoming stronger together.
The Netherlands innovates, Germany consumes. Discover how you can create a long-term growth platform with smart clusters and pooling of strengths — from plant-based to climate-neutral food strategies.
Emergency rations, ageing populations, and food safety – you get a glimpse of how both countries deal with uncertainty and which approach you can apply to build resilience in your organisation.
With concrete examples, I show how innovation portfolio building in the Netherlands is used to successfully gain a foothold in the German plant-based market — and the benefits of collaboration and scaling.
The retail world is changing rapidly: digitalisation, behavioural influence, and consumer trends take centre stage. Learn how to combine data and nudges to stimulate healthy and sustainable behaviour in the market.
What makes your message relevant for German retailers and media? As a ‘stage builder’, I explain how to use content, culture, and connections to enter the German market impactfully — with maximum attention.
