From concept to hoi startup factory (examples)
- Closes gaps in the startup journey:
Startups are transformed from singular success stories into a reproducible principle of success. - Link between business, science and startups:
Together we regularly turn scientific achievements into real problem-solving products. - Pull effect for talents, companies and technologies:
As a future region 2100, we act regionally, stimulate nationally and scale worldwide. - The hoi startup factory specifically closes gaps in the startup journey by promoting the equipping of highly qualified talents from science with an entrepreneurial mindset and linking them with a strong corporate and investment network right from the start.
- It promotes the number, growth and resilience of startups through structured programs such as the Science Startup Funnel, collabXelerator, the hoi venture studio and the Finance and Leadership Academy, completed by a strong impact and internationalization strategy.
Their goal is to double the number of successful startups within five years, to build sustainable financing structures and to establish the northwest as Europe's leading startup region.
