Pole Position – advancing DeepTech stars to the front of the Race
While Dutch incubators provide support for deeptech companies in their early growth stages, only a few initiatives in the Netherlands focus on supporting and facilitating the successful transition of deeptech startups into a scaleup phase. This is why Techleap.nl, together with four incubators: YES! Delft, UtrechtInc Braventure, and NovelT, have joined forces under one national deeptech-specific initiative: Pole Position. Pole Position is structured to provide a dynamic peer-to-peer learning environment for a selected group of 10 early-stage deeptech ventures to manage growth challenges successfully. These Healthtech-based sessions will be led by experienced entrepreneurs and structured in 3 Phases: Insight, Focus and Action. The programme will provide a strong network of key stakeholders, including policymakers and investors, to allow the companies to scale faster and more efficiently.
