Marktlink has elevated its partnership with the Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix by becoming an Event Supporter. This new agreement enhances the existing collaboration, introducing the ‘Marktlink House’ atop the Arie Luyendyk corner, thereby increasing Marktlink’s visibility to the broader public. With this development, Marktlink joins prominent partners such as Heineken, PON, VDK, VolkerWessels, and Radio 538.
Since the inception of the Dutch Grand Prix, Marktlink has been an active partner. In previous years, the company organised the successful Marktlink Connect event on the Thursday preceding the race weekend. Now, as an Event Supporter, Marktlink will occupy the prestigious Champions Lounge above Turn 14, rebranded as the ‘Marktlink House’.
Exclusive Experience in Marktlink House
This collaboration not only amplifies Marktlink’s presence during the Dutch Grand Prix but also offers an exclusive environment for networking and enjoying top-tier motorsport. The Marktlink House, an exclusive lounge tailored for Marktlink, will host hundreds of clients and associates daily. The location is exceptional, offering panoramic views of the entire venue, including the race and the final corner before the straight.
Looking Ahead
The partnership with the Dutch Grand Prix is confirmed for 2025, intending to continue into 2026. “We are proud of this strengthened collaboration,” says Tim van der Meer, managing partner at Marktlink. “The Dutch Grand Prix provides us with a unique platform to bring entrepreneurs together at a historic event. With the Marktlink House, we aim to offer an exclusive and inspiring environment that aligns with our vision of connection, growth, and the joy of entrepreneurship.”
Jan Lammers, sporting director of the Dutch Grand Prix organisation, is enthusiastic about expanding the partnership: “Over the first four editions of the Dutch Grand Prix, Marktlink has successfully hosted numerous business clients. Their connect events have become renowned. We consider it a compliment that Marktlink is intensifying the collaboration and that the business community continues to leverage the Dutch Grand Prix to achieve business objectives.”
