Nextworks and VBH join forces to offer a strategic partnership designed to generate real value for shipowners, shipyards, and project teams.
The two companies, one Italian and one Dutch, combine different and complementary skills:
- Nextworks specializes in superyacht projects, where the relationship between cost, efficiency, and space requires intelligent design choices;
- VBH has consolidated experience in megayachts and gigayachts.
This joint approach to different market segments allows for the application of targeted solutions, avoiding oversizing and optimizing investment in every type of vessel. The result is more efficient cost management at every stage: from design and integration to maintenance and upgrades over time.
Greater efficiency and evolving technology
In the nautical sector, those working on smaller projects have always had the drive, and in a certain sense the obligation, to innovate quickly and creatively in order to remain competitive. Those working on large yachts, on the other hand, have a duty to ensure continuity, scalability, and safety. The strength of this partnership lies precisely in its ability to combine two visions:
“We are combining rigorous engineering criteria with a cutting-edge approach, fueled by continuous research and development,” summarizes Gianluca Insolvibile, Chief Technology Officer at Nextworks.
“We combine VBH’s international and structured vision with our ability to develop flexible, tailor-made, and deeply integrated solutions,” says Cristiano Bozzi, Chief Sales Officer at Nextworks. “The result? Greater efficiency and technology that can evolve alongside the yachts. What we offer is dynamic software architecture installed on standard infrastructure: we can update features and interfaces remotely, without invasive interventions or modifications to existing hardware”.
A solid but flexible structure
With its native IT background and experience in both A/V and industrial fields, Nextworks interprets home automation systems not as a set of functions that simply communicate with each other, but as an intelligent infrastructure that extends from the network to the user experience.
VBH, with its experience in large-scale projects and its engineering approach to design, interprets technology not as something to be shown off, but as an integral part of the environment: invisible, precise, mechanically perfect, designed to blend into the space and enhance its aesthetics.
Furthermore, while construction sites in Northern Europe are renowned for their virtuous rigidity (punctual, structured, extremely reliable), in Italy the distinctive feature is flexibility: even when a project is underway, change is welcomed. In this union, Northern European rigor meets the all-Italian ability to adapt with operational intelligence.
The result is a solid, and yet not rigid, structure.
