Connecting Dutch Tech

How big is the current perception gap in data-driven DEI practices among tech talent and how do we bridge this gap for true inclusion to thrive?

Our team is dedicated to make the Netherlands “a unicorn nation”. We help the next generation of tech leaders with unique programmes and resources to provide founders of tech companies access to technology, talent, capital and markets. 

Tech is indispensable in our lives. Without tech, no green economy, solar panels or windmills. No heart monitor in the hospital. No access to healthcare, clean drinking water and healthy food. Dutch tech entrepreneurs are resourceful and hold the solutions for a better future. We need them. It's time to choose. Find incredible Dutch tech stories via the link below.

Dutch tech potential thrives through 7 pivotal areas: revamping strategic tech policies, fostering deeptech, augmenting capital, nurturing and enticing talent, expanding the foundation, propelling regional growth, and forging communal ties.

Is the culture of ‘just act normal, that is crazy enough as it is’ limiting Dutch entrepreneurs? Are groups of entrepreneurs similar in age, education, and gender missing opportunities? Can entrepreneurial experience circumvent this cultural barrier? We've partnered up with Utrecht University School of Economics to explore the largest global dataset on entrepreneurship, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, to answer these questions as part of this report.

The Scale Lab is a Techleap.nl podcast on how to scale up your startup beyond the Netherlands. Hosted by Constantijn van Oranje and Joe Wilson, this podcast series gathers remarkable Dutch entrepreneurs who were able to create breakthrough startups to deconstruct their scaling journeys.
