Soft Landing Programme Experience
Avinash Kulkarni, CSO at Kaizen Secure Voiz (India) has recently experienced Soft Landing Programme and shared his views.
“Hague is a throbbing city with millions of possibilities. I could tap into the Hague Humanity Hub,The Hague world horti centre, THAUS university, WorldStartup, startups at The Hague Tech to see the Dutch enterprising qualities firsthand. Holland Fintech society was a great exposure to understand the nature of new fintech ventures in NL. There are passionate funding organizations who can back social and for-profit ventures. Hague is a microcosm of the best elements. It is also home to Indian diaspora from Surinamese background. It is an interesting mix to learn from.”
