The Delft region and surrounding area is bustling with entrepreneurship in all forms. From students with fresh ideas to professionals with years of experience - entrepreneurship offers opportunities for everyone. How do we ensure that all entrepreneurs, regardless of their business profile, background, education or ambitions, have the opportunity to grow and work together? With Kickstart Lab, we, as New Future Lab, continue to build a place where young and enterprising Delfters feel that anything is possible. A place where people can be themselves and where you get the help and encouragement to realize your full entrepreneurial potential together. In education the attention for entrepreneurship is growing, but the link with practice can be even stronger. That's why we work with schools, businesses and entrepreneurs in the region to ensure that young entrepreneurs get the skills and networks they need to be successful. We focus on promoting equity of opportunity and encouraging blending between MBO, HBO and WO so that everyone can broaden their knowledge and network and be better prepared for entrepreneurship. Young entrepreneurship has many faces. It is the one-person entrepreneur who runs their own design studio, the group of friends who set up a catering company together, and the talented doers who offer a craft service, the social initiators of a social foundation or the engineers in training behind an innovative tech startup. This diversity is what makes our region strong, and connecting these entrepreneurs creates an inclusive community that allows for growth and collaboration.
