Covid-19 Program

We are launching the COVID-19 Program to empower entrepreneurs who can present working solutions for challenges posed by the current crisis. This special edition is designed to help those startups with working medical technologies and health solutions that are ready to scale. This program will look to specifically assist with accelerating their expansion and increasing the speed of getting their product to market. This edition is a one-off which will provide three online sessions to the companies involved. This session will be hosted by some of the ecosystems leading experts and scale coaches. 

Why?

There are Dutch startups right now who can directly contribute to solutions to help reduce the impact of COVID-19 and provide crucial support to those working to fight it. Those solutions that help ease the pressure on the current healthcare system and patients suffering from COVID-19 deserve visibility and world-class resources. 

We need to provide support right now to these organisations and identify where the need for help is highest in line with the solutions the market has to offer. We believe that access to the best thinkers and doers in the field will accelerate the delivery of these solutions to wherever they are needed most, nationally and internationally.

For who?

Serious startups only need to apply. A startup is eligible if: 

  • Technology-driven
  • Dutch-based
  • Funded (or revenue-driven)
  • A clear understanding of product/ service and market you serve.
