Orchestrating the workforce that keeps society moving
Society depends on people who keep it moving. Mission Ae helps organizations make every available person count by combining workforce technology, talent supply and managed services unlocking the full potential of talent.
Society can't afford to stop moving
The sectors that keep society moving are running out of people
Healthcare, childcare, social housing, municipalities and public services all face the same reality. Demand keeps climbing while the workforce cannot keep up. Labor shortages have stopped being temporary. They are structural.
Shortage of Dutch workforce by 2030:
Healthcare
1 in 4 Dutch workers needed in healthcare by 2030
Childcare
Free childcare policy is structurally outpacing supply
Municipality
One in three municipal employees will retire by 2030
Social housing
One in three employees is already 55 or older
Our Vision
Turning organizations into workforce strategists
We help organizations become workforce strategists: able to continuously make the best choices across every layer of their workforce. By connecting these layers, organizations gain the insight to determine where capacity should come from based on availability, continuity, flexibility, quality and cost. Our technology provides the orchestration layer that makes this possible, bringing workforce demand and every source of capacity together in one intelligent system.
The result is a workforce that continuously adapts to demand, uses available capacity more effectively and scales through the right layer at the right moment.
Making every workforce decision a strategic one.
Four forces. One mission.
Each solving a critical part of the
workforce challenge
Mission Ae brings together specialized companies around one shared mission: helping mission-critical organizations unlock the full potential of their workforce. Each company brings its own expertise in technology, talent and workforce services. Together, we create more capacity, better orchestration and greater impact.
WORKFORCE ORCHESTRATION
One intelligent platform for your entire workforce
Aelio is the orchestration layer that connects the entire workforce in one intelligent platform. It gives organizations end-to-end visibility and control across permanent staff, internal flex pools, regional capacity and external suppliers, always maximizing internal capacity first and scaling externally only when demand requires it.
Over 2,000,000 flex hours matched and scheduled every year.
WORKFORCE SUPPLY
New capacity where the market falls short
Aethon creates new workforce supply where the market falls short. We attract, activate and deploy untapped talent, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals and international talent, connecting every placement to the same orchestration layer so workforce supply, planning and deployment stay fully aligned.

MANAGING THE OPERATION
Less complexity. Full control. Better performance.
Aems simplifies and manages the entire workforce operation from request to invoice. Through Flexpool Management, Vendor Management and MSP, we coordinate hiring, onboarding, planning, suppliers, compliance, rates, performance and spend, giving organizations one operating model with less complexity, stronger control and continuously improving workforce performance.
Clients achieve 15–35% savings on external workforce costs.
DEVELOPING TALENT
Growing the talent pool society depends on
We create new workforce capacity by growing the talent pool. Through accelerated, accredited training, we prepare people for mission-critical roles, build the skills organizations need and connect newly qualified professionals directly to the workforce ecosystem, making talent productive faster and available where demand is greatest.
Developing mission-critical professionals for over 50 years.
