Inspiring visit IMV Technologies

An inspiring programme

The day started with a warm meeting between our IMV colleagues and the NIFA team, including Hans, Janny, Linda and Corine. This introduction laid the foundation for an open and inspiring exchange of knowledge and experience.

Corine kicked off with an engaging presentation on her expertise in embryo transfer and OPU (Ovum Pick-Up) in horses. Using practical examples, she showed how these techniques work and which products are essential in this process. Linda then took over and shared her extensive knowledge in the field of scanners. She gave a demonstration, showed how product promotion can be used effectively and gave valuable tips on giving demonstrations.

Visit to the CRV Dairy Breeding Centre

After the sessions at NIFA, the group visited the CRV Dairy Breeding Centre in Wirdum (Friesland). Here, our guests got an in-depth insight into OPU techniques in cattle. This visit underlined the importance of high-quality technology and cooperation within the livestock sector.

Just relax?

To further strengthen the team spirit, a skating session was on the programme. It was a great opportunity to get to know each other better in an informal setting and have fun together.

Back at the NIFA Technologies site, IMV colleagues had the opportunity to meet other team members and our extensive product portfolio. This interactive moment offered a valuable look behind the scenes of our daily operations and innovative solutions.

The day ended in stylish fashion with a delicious dinner at the WTC, where we enjoyed breathtaking views of Leeuwarden. It provided the perfect opportunity to look back on a successful day full of inspiration, new insights and strengthened collaborations.

Growing and innovating together

The visit of IMV Technologies' international sales team was a great example of how collaboration and knowledge sharing lead to growth and innovation. At NIFA, we remain committed to strengthening not only our own expertise, but also that of our partners. Because together we are creating the future of reproductive technology.

Get to know…Nicolle!

‘I’m thrilled to be working with NIFA. I never imagined that I would have a client 3 hours from where I live,’ Nicolle laughs. ‘Even though I mostly work remotely, they give me a lot of energy. We’ve built a strong connection, which I believe is wonderful. Together, we’re pursuing new ideas and insights, with the goal of showcasing the true face of NIFA and everything they have to offer.’ 

‘It all started two years ago with a newsletter. Hans noticed a newsletter I had created and said, “We could really use a nice newsletter like that ourselves.” To which I replied, “Can be organized, Hans!” Since then, the NIFA spirit has been in me too, because that’s how it feels. Since that time, I’ve taken on additional responsibilities, and we’re working together on NIFA’s marketing and communication.’ 

‘During my studies in Business Administration & Agribusiness at HAS Green Academy in 2013, I discovered my passion for this field. I’ve loved creativity from a young age, enjoy being around people, and find psychology fascinating. All things I encounter in my daily work. I also grew up in the agricultural and equestrian sector, so I understand the processes in the field like no one else. This makes it easier for me to understand and support NIFA.’ 

Outside her work as a freelancer, she occasionally helps on her boyfriend’s farm. In her free time, she enjoys horseriding, hiking, boxing, and sometimes doing CrossFit. On weekends, she can often be found with family and friends, enjoying food and drinks.

 

Get to know…Fabrice!

‘I help NIFA get to grips with our products, understand the ins and outs of animal ultrasound, and learn how to present these products to customers. My training ensures NIFA knows every detail. A few times a year, they come to our facility in France for meetings and additional training sessions. We maintain close contact to ensure everyone is up to speed.’

Fabrice is at our side to make sure we have all the knowledge and support you need!

TEAM AWAY DAY - 75 years of NIFA

While enjoying delicious food and a drink we watched eight exciting races during which we bet on various horses. Furthermore, we drove alongside the horses in a follow car in the middle of the trotting track, how cool was that! NIFA also sponsored one of the races, for which the winner received a ornamental blanket. After the ceremony it was time to take a look behind the scene; we were given a tour around the stables and premises. All in all, it was a very successful evening!
