ImpactCity helps startups move forward

The Hague is the perfect Dutch startup city

The Hague is the perfect place for startups to build their future. The city has a lot of local talent, international institutions, knowledge centres and governments. The vibrant business climate connects startups to numerous international organisations. The Hague facilitates startups that, aside from building a successful business, also want to create a positive societal impact.

Consider solutions for the protections of seas and oceans and affordable clean energy, but also an IT-company where the servers are powered

by green electricity. Good entrepreneurship, with a consistent awareness for innovative solutions for sustainable development objectives.

“Our affordable, 3D-printed and self-propelled drone can be used for purposes such as delivering medication in inaccessible areas. Winning 30.000 euro through Haagse Vernieuwers enabled us to continue development.”

The Hague as launching customer

Via the Startup in Residence Program, featuring also a very lean European tendering process the municipality of The Hague co-develops solutions for the city with the selected start-ups. Through this program start-ups gain access to launching customers in the public sector, a development budget of €7.500, office space, training program and a network of experts.

Many other ministries in The Hague are following suit, making their combined purchase volume of €1 billion accessible also to start-ups. A major milestone!
