How To Get There Summit 2016
Participants of the HTGT Summit can, in one day, feel, hear and sometimes even taste what the innovation system of the Netherlands has to offer to them. Innovation hubs and knowlegde parks such as Brainport Eindhoven, StartupAmsterdam, Twente and the Hague Impact City display their facilities and share their knowledge and skills. The Dutch corporates share cross-sectoral expertise, success stories and the most brilliant failures. Startups participate in big numbers, via the Get in the Ring competition, to do business with investors, corporates and entrepreneurs.
The Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship (ECE), expertise centrum for corporate en-trepreneurship of the Erasmus University, is the main organizer of the HTGT Summit. Every year, the HTGT Summit takes place in one of the regional innovation hotspots in the Netherlands. This year the HTGT Summit is hosted by the Hague in the Haagse Hogeschool
