The Sapienza story of growth, change and success - since 1994
Sapienza is a company belonging to the TP Group plc, a specialist engineering and support services company involved in the aerospace & defence and energy & process industries. Sapienza was founded in 1994 to support project activities of the European Space Agency (ESA) in Noordwijk (the Netherlands). Since the early days, our vision was to provide outstanding workforce services and software solutions to the Space and Defence sector.
After nearly 25 years, the Sapienza Consulting Group consists of five wholly-owned subsidiary companies operating across the European landscape with headquarters in the Netherlands. These are: Sapienza Consulting BV, Sapienza Consulting Ltd, Sapienza Consulting SRL, Sapienza Consulting GmbH and most recently Sapienza Consulting Balkans. In addition, Sapienza Consulting Holding BV is now 100% owner of LIFT BV, an innovative Dutch start-up concerned with Artificial Intelligence and social and conversational recruitment automation. Beside ESA, our strong client basis rests on several other prestigious Institutions and Agencies, namely: the NATO Information and Communication Agency (NCIA), the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), the Italian Space Agency (ASI), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (EUROJUST) and the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL). Furthermore, we are proud of our support to leading commercial organisations from the Space and Defence sector, of which the most prominent are Airbus D&S, OHB Systems AG and Thales-Alenia. Lastly, we make it our goal, whenever possible, to connect, and get involved with and support innovative start-ups in the Space, Defence, Security and high-tech domains. Workforce Solutions Services and IT software solutions remain at the heart of the Group focus. However, we are continually extending our expertise and success across the whole space engineering domain. |
