What we do
Amsterdam Venture Studios offer workspace, but above all we offer dedicated support. Through joint incubation programs, training and mentoring, and much more.
Workspace and more
All six AVS locations offer workspace; separate offices as well as shared flex-working areas. This is complemented by facilities such as meeting rooms, event spaces and workshop areas. The campus locations provide you with easy access to the networks of researchers and the high-quality research facilities of the Amsterdam knowledge institutions. At each location meetings are facilitated between starters, companies, researchers and students. In addition, special events and workshops are organised, such as Venture Cafés, Entrepreneurship lunches and Matching Sessions. Keep an eye on our event calender.
Are you a student, researcher or alumnus of one of the Amsterdam knowledge institutes and interested in starting your own company?

At all locations coherent training and support programs are offered to help you start and grow your knowledge-based business.
