Looking back at the successful Utrecht Science Park Spring Café: the power of an ecosystem in setting up and running a startup
On Thursday, April 9, the Utrecht Science Park Spring Café took place at UtrechtInc. In an informal setting, colleagues, partners, and stakeholders gathered to meet and catch up on developments within the Utrecht Science Park.
During the meeting, entrepreneurship at Utrecht Science Park took center stage, featuring pitches from successful startups and an introduction by Stefan Braam of UtrechtInc. and Jan Henk van der Velden of the Utrecht Science Park Foundation.
Robert Englmeier of CryoCloud and Thymen den Hartog of Verticai explained their startups and shared insights on entrepreneurship and the power of the ecosystem at Utrecht Science Park. Afterwards, there was time for networking and connecting with snacks and drinks.
The inspiring setting of UtrechtInc. once again highlighted the role of Utrecht Science Park as a place where startups, knowledge institutions, and healthcare providers come together to make an impact.
We look back on a successful edition and thank all attendees for their presence and contribution to the discussions.
