The Gate
The Gate is the go-to platform for tech startups in their early stages to get off to a flying start. It's the place to go for information and advice, both in person and online.
Midpoint Brabant

Stichting Steunfonds Duurzaamheid
Promoting entrepreneurship with social impact among young and aspiring entrepreneurs

However, their approach fundamentally differs from that of real-world entrepreneurs. Gert Poppe explored this phenomenon in collaboration with the Research Group for Industrial Engineering & Entrepreneurship.
