TNO, Techleap, and Invest-NL have formed a strategic alliance to enhance the Netherlands' tech landscape by accelerating startup growth and innovation. Announced at the Hello Tomorrow tech event in Paris, this partnership aims to improve the competitiveness of Europe within the global tech industry. With European firms holding only a small share of the top companies globally, the alliance seeks to bridge the gap and address ongoing challenges in startup scaling in the Netherlands, particularly regarding financing and support.
Tjark Tjin-A-Tsoi, CEO of TNO, emphasizes that successful innovation requires large-scale application, hence the alliance aims to help startups soar beyond the 'valley of death'.
Rinke Zonneveld, CEO of Invest-NL, points out that despite having innovative companies, Dutch startups scale slower than in other countries, with financing being a vital component.
