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?
Developing skills and support
At all locations coherent training and support programs are offered to help you start and grow your knowledge-based business. The training programs cover all stages of starting a business and scaling it up. They boost your entrepreneurial skills and help you translate your knowledge, science or tech innovation into a successful company. A selection of the possibilities:
- Open program for budding entrepreneurs;
- Ready 2 start’ program for early stage start-ups;
- ‘Ready 2 scale’ program for start-ups ready to grow.
The supporting programs cover all stages of business creation and development, in order to teach you how to translate your science or high-tech concept into a feasible company.
