Founded in Groningen

With more than 350 startups, Groningen is a vibrant center for innovation, ranging from technology to sustainable solutions.

Groningen is home to prominent companies such as HackerOne, Naya, Parkos, and Memorylab, and this list continues to grow.

Startup Weekend, MXT and Startup Festival are top events for networking and developing new ideas. Knowledge institutions such as the University of Groningen (RUG), Campus Groningen and UMCG not only provide talent, but also offer plenty of support to startups.

Thanks to close-knit communities such as cool events and strong knowledge institutions, Groningen is the place for startups to scale.
