Two key players, ImpactCity The Hague and Startupbootcamp launched a joint initiative focusing on increasing the growth of sustainable start-ups in The Netherlands and strengthening the position of The Hague as the leader in building the impact ecosystem in Europe.
The ImpactCity Accelerator program is open to impact innovators already based in or those planning to establish themselves in The Hague.
“The city invests in an attractive climate for start-ups and has acquired a recognizable economic profile with ImpactCity,” says Saskia Bruines, alderman at the Municipality of The Hague.
Ten selected start-ups will get the chance to work on de-risking their value proposition and find the best way to solve a problem while also focusing on their growth strategy to scale their model.
Introduction of the ImpactCity Accelerator
The intense hybrid program will take place mainly online but will also use the facilities of ImpactCity The Hague for in-person activities.
Mercedes de Miranda, Director of Business Development at Startupbootcamp see The Hague as an outstanding place ‘when it comes to the number of impact start-up entrepreneurs who work for a better world.”
She highlighted that they came on board as partners based on their overwhelmingly positive experience at the ImpactFest in 2021, the flagship event of ImpactCity and the largest event in Europe where sustainable, innovative parties come together.
Application is open until 11th March, and sessions will be held from April to the end of June.
Throughout the three months, entrepreneurs are matched with mentors and get the chance to access a worldwide network.
At the final Demo Day event, participants get to present their work to ImpactCity, investors, potential partners and other stakeholders.
