From 24-28 May 2016 The Netherlands will be the place where every startup in the world wants to be. It is a four day marathon of matchmaking between startups, investors, developers and corporates. Fourteen regional innovation hubs will host world class events on specialized topics.

Startup Fest Europe is a nation wide festival of events that help startups grow faster by bringing together founders, investors, business leaders and developers around specific themes (or verticals). These week long match making activities are a joint effort of startup hubs in the cities of Amsterdam, Arnhem, Delft, Eindhoven, Enschede, Geleen, Leeuwarden, Nijmegen, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Wageningen and Zwolle.

Startups can join different events during Startup Fest. Each participating event will have their own conditions to enter, join or visit. Some of them have admission fees while others have free entrance. Some have a specific target audience while others are open to the public.

Startup Fest is an officially affiliated event during the EU-presidency, during which innovation will be a prominent theme.
