Definition
With StartupAmsterdam, we aim to:
1. Increase the number of international early-stage start-ups that opt for Amsterdam accelerators and incubators.2. Increase the number of rapidly growing mid- and later-stage international start-ups that decide to use Amsterdam as a hub for European growth, and establish their European headquarters here.3. Make it easier for Amsterdam start-ups to attract personnel with relevant expertise, allowing them to realise accelerated growth.4. Improve the position of dutch start-ups within international tech clusters.5. Attract more international investment to Amsterdam and encourage Dutch financial institutions (e.g. those located at the Zuidas) to support start-ups and scale-ups.6. Stimulate collaboration and the exchange of high-level expertise between the public and private sectors in order to support unique start-ups and entrepreneurship.7. Further effective collaboration within the start-up ecosystem, characterised by a clear focus, coherence and transparency.8. Ensure that the start-up ecosystem engenders and exudes pride.
Example/CaseStartupAmsterdam assists start-ups in their search for personnel by helping them to place intelligent, focused job advertisements.
These would be advertisements for active start-up positions and/or assignments for Amsterdam start-ups, places at/on relevant international academic institutions, tech blogs, start-up listings etc.
The measure has two primary objectives: 1) brand Amsterdam as a start-up hub that is home to
rapidly growing start-ups constantly on the lookout for new people;
2) help start-ups to quickly find competent personnel to allow them to accelerate growth.
