Time to tell others about your business!

This way, you not only show everyone what you do, but also get to know other founders, network and be inspired.

Aim: to bring together founders from the region

Jan-Luis Wennekes and Hendrik Gerards (WGC Innovations we generate content) are founders themselves and initiated the start-up event. Young entrepreneurs and start-ups are the target group for whom the two want to facilitate networking and at the same time provide new impetus for the local economy. Jan-Luis Wennekes emphasises his personal intention for the founders' night initiative: "We founded our own company at the end of last year and experience the challenges that young founders have to deal with almost every day".
