About

Imagine an entire nation collectively driving an initiative to bring together the world’s most admired CEOs, thought leaders, startup founders and investors in a single week.

Startup Fest Europe is a one-of-a-kind international festival of more than 30 independently organized events in the Netherlands, helping startups grow faster by bringing together founders, investors, business leaders and developers around specific themes.

At the helm of the Presidency of the European Union, The Netherlands aims to boost entrepreneurship in Europe. The whole country has joined forces to organise events where entrepreneurs, investors, companies and scientists can meet, make deals, gather inspiration and share knowledge.
