FOR WHOM?

We support people with a migration background and a desire to build their own business

Everyone who is curious and motivated can participate in our program. You can sign up when you have the drive to become an entrepreneur whether you already have a concrete business idea or not. However, we expect you to speak and understand either English or Dutch.
Also that you will complete your integration course shortly or that you already have completed it.

More importantly, we expect you to build your own business as part of your personal dream because you have the drive to transform your passion into a business opportunity. That's why you are willing to spend time and effort, while being a team player by sharing your knowledge and experience with others.

So, if you think that you have an entrepreneurial spirit, are really energetic, and are dreaming of starting your own business in the Netherlands.

Then, this is for you! Join us!

THE PROGRAM

A startup incubation program

During 2 months, you will receive training on design thinking and LEAN start up techniques. We offer you several workshops, work together to develop and test a prototype (yours) and support you to pitch your business idea.

The first period is about creating teams and how to start a business in the Netherlands. During the following weeks, we focus on creating an idea and developing the business model. Finally you can build your prototype and pitch your ideas.

The program is for free for the selected participants. Experience as an entrepreneur is not necessary. Personal development is just as important as business development.

To participate you must be available 2 full days per week during the 2 month program, starting on May 14th, 2018.
