Our vertical Strategy
01
Identify critical challenges
Select the area - Research and stakeholder input identify where Dutch deeptech can realistically lead globally.
02
Mobilise the ecosystem
Map the barriers - Deep interviews with founders, investors, and experts uncover what is actually blocking growth.
03
Deploy targeted programmes
Build the support - Tailored activities designed around those barriers: cohorts, expert sessions, investor events, international missions.
04
Measure and iterate
Connect the ecosystem - Bring in partners, publish findings openly, and engage policymakers to fix systemic issues.
Verticals are how we focus.
The mission is bigger.
Deeptech & Ecosystem exists to build the conditions in which Dutch deeptech companies can become global leaders.
That means the right capital, the right talent, a policy environment that enables rather than blocks, and an ecosystem where the best founders can find each other and grow.
