The Testing Ground - Meet Utrecht’s student startups and test their ideas.

On Thursday November 26, UtrechtInc opens its doors for an informal evening with our current student startups. ​Come meet the founders, hear what they’re building, and give them your honest opinion. Just conversations that actually help.

All startups are early-stage and looking for real feedback.

Whether you’re a student, a professional, or just curious about what’s being built in Utrecht right now, come along. And bring someone who’d find it interesting.

Agenda

15:30 | Tour & introduction incubator, feedback on your business idea and ambitions
16:30 | Open community drinks with in-house entrepreneurs and scientists + Testing ground

Listen to 2-minute pitches from each startup, then wander around and talk to the teams directly: about their idea, their product, their pitch, or a role they’re hiring for.
