Groningen has a lot of great entrepreneurial assets. The best being a lot of people who want to further the region from an eco- and not an ego perspective.
Over the last few years we have seen people connect and become friends. It is is great when meaningful friendships arise between entrepreneurial people. It creates space to cooperate and build businesses together. Friends know each others talents and pitfalls and understand what they can do for each other.
The collaboration between corporations and startups has become crucial
“A good startup ecosystem proves to be better at shortening the cycles of innovation, exploiting technology, enhancing existing business models, and inventing new ones more quickly and effectively than big corporations.”
