Founded in Drenthe

The ecosystem where Catawiki, the world's fastest-growing tech company, was born and scaled up internationally to unicorn.

From Drenthe, innovative companies such as FerrTech, Resato, Watter, Senbis and have rapidly conquered the world.

Drenthe is a global leader in sustainable plastics. Incubators such as the GreenWise Campus, IT hub, Tech Hub and top events such as the Young Business Award offer founders the opportunity to test and promote ideas, build pilot plants and grow internationally with the best support and networks.

Cure Technology is an inspiring example: with Coca-Cola as an investor, they are working from Drenthe on a sustainable and recycled alternative to Coca-Cola soft drink bottles.

Entrepreneurship in Drenthe contributes to a more beautiful and greener world.
