We believe that good innovation deserves to be seen

Good innovation deserves to be seen. That’s what we’re here for.
That’s why Hans and Tilly Scholtze started Business Channel One in 2015. Not as a video production company, but as an independent platform where forward-looking innovation comes together and becomes visible. From Europe to audiences worldwide.

What others say about us

Mark Spetter – Provincie Flevoland:
Tilly and her team at BC1 created a film for us, the province of Flevoland, on the circular economy: Circulair Flevoland 2030. From start to finish, Tilly and her team were highly involved and professional, helping us understand what we wanted and how to translate that into a film.
The 33-minute film premiered in a cinema in Almere, and everyone—including the businesses featured and the audience—was very enthusiastic. The film’s powerful visuals effectively showcased ongoing circular economy efforts in the province and a vision for 2030. It was also structured to be shared in parts, for use in events and education. BC1 also supported us with internal and external communications, targeted invitations, social media messaging, and strategy.
In short, BC1 exceeded our expectations, and we are very satisfied with both the content and the process.

Flevoland provides entrepreneurs with space to operate circularly

Sander ‘t Sas – Journalist at EenVandaag:
Hans Scholtze is one of the best filmmakers I know. Having worked with him for over 15 years, every collaboration has resulted in outstanding productions. Hans is an excellent cameraman and editor with up-to-date technical knowledge and a keen sense of visual language, making stories clear and beautifully captured. His ability to turn even complex issues into visually appealing and understandable narratives is remarkable. On top of that, working with Hans is always a pleasure.

Huub Lavooij – Delta21:
I know Hans Scholtze as an expert director of highly professional films in many areas, with his knowledge of the energy transition standing out most positively.

The energy transition needs storage to succeed
