Techleap is a non-profit organisation subsidised by the Ministry of Economic Affairs that’s working towards a more public-private funded program. It aims to accelerate the growth of Dutch tech start-ups and scaleups. The organisation creates an ideal environment for technology companies to scale by acquiring and sharing knowledge. This enables the Netherlands to better respond to major societal transitions, securing jobs, and future earning capacity. Recently, the Techleap program was extended with government subsidy until 2026 – with the ambition to expand its community programs. The organisation has set the goal of making its community initiatives self-sustaining through attracting business partnerships that align and commit with Techleap’s mission.
