About PIP Advice
Student management consultancy in Enschede. Since 1989, the oldest spin-off of the University of Twente.
Our story
In 1989, five University of Twente students went to the Chamber of Commerce to found PIP Advice. Today, PIP Advice is the oldest spin-off of the university.
Since then, we have completed more than 150 projects, mainly for companies and institutions in the Overijssel region. We have worked for the University of Twente, Kennispark Twente, the Municipality of Enschede, VDL ETG, Topicus, Thales and Samsung, among others.
Our partners often study Industrial Engineering and Management. That brings strong analytical skills and a flexible schedule. When you lack the knowledge or the time, PIP Advice solves your challenge.

“Toen vijf UT studenten in 1989 naar de Kamer van Koophandel gingen om PIP Advice op te richten hadden ze nooit kunnen bevroeden dat PIP Advice zoveel jaren later nog steeds zou bestaan. Dit succes is te verklaren vanuit de klassieke win-win. Voor klanten: toegankelijk en praktisch advies op academisch niveau met een concurrerende prijsstelling. En voor de vennoten: hard werken, veel leren en natuurlijk ook fun! Ik kijk nu al uit naar het gouden jubileum in 2039 en wens de huidige en toekomstige vennoten alle succes toe.”
