Abrehet Bellinga

Hello, I am Abrehet Bellinga, a passionate and energetic connector. I strive to push boundaries and discover new adventures.

Currently I live in Groningen, but I have strong ties to Drenthe. I grew up in the countryside of Koekange and am well known in Hoogeveen, Meppel and Assen. It is my passion to support entrepreneurs with their business plans, whether starting, growing or innovating. I enjoy using my knowledge and network to help them. I admire entrepreneurs for their creativity, perseverance and stubbornness - essential qualities for creating and growing successful businesses. It gives me satisfaction to contribute to the growth of Drenthe's economy.

Having worked for 12.5 years at a large bank in Groningen, where I supported Start-ups and Scale-ups as well as regular SMEs with knowledge, network and capital, I have built a valuable network. I look forward to connecting the provinces of Groningen and Drenthe.

At IBDO, I focus on financial issues and Start-ups and Scale-ups, with a focus on the municipalities of Noordenveld, Assen and Tynaarlo.
