Rabobank launches Innovation Contribution at Upstream Festival to offer financial boost to South Holland startups - Silicon Canals
Briefly

Rabobank announced the Innovation Contribution at the Upstream Festival, an initiative to assist early-stage startups in South Holland. Established in 2020, this festival has grown into a crucial event for over 2,000 entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators aiming to foster meaningful business endeavors. This financial support is targeted at companies still in their initial phases, aiding in prototype development and pilot projects. The program reflects Rabobank's commitment to not just funding, but also providing valuable expertise and networking opportunities to nascent businesses, as emphasized by their Startup & Scale-up Banker, Robin Hempel.
"Financing is often difficult, especially in this vulnerable phase of innovation. The Innovation Contribution can make the difference between a good idea on paper and a first working concept."
"We are launching the Innovation Contribution for Zuid-Holland during Upstream Festival 2025 in Rotterdam, the event for startups in the region and beyond."
