Company profile

The City of Amsterdam is the national leader in its concentration of both scientists and research institutes. It is home to the science faculties and research institutes of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the Vrije University (VU), the Academic Medical Centre (AMC) of the University of Amsterdam, the Medical Centre of the VU, and the institutes of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The level of scientific and technological research is therefore world class.

Many research projects result in market-oriented innovations. This has a positive impact on the economy and society as a whole. However, the commercialization process whereby scientific innovations are brought to the market is still relatively undeveloped. Scientists lack entrepreneurial and business skills, whereas business people do not easily come into contact with the innovations originating from the research conducted at Science Park Amsterdam and the various scientific faculties.

Amsterdam Center for Entrepreneurship @ Science Park was established to foster education in entrepreneurship, stimulate and support innovative startups based on research done at Science Park Amsterdam institutes and at the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam. ACE @ Science Park aims to attracts students, researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and companies to start and support new ventures at Science Park Amsterdam and become the ‘Amsterdam hub’ for science and technology entrepreneurship.

Science and Technologies or Services

Entrepreneurship education is offerd by the Faculty of Economics and Business by the University of Amsterdam Business School and by ACE @ Science Park. Entrepreneurship is offered for Bachelor, Masters and MBA students. In addition ACE @ Science Park offers workshops and seminars on science and technology entrepreneurship to faculty, Ph.D. and post-docs.

Science and Technologies or Services

Syntens offers a large number of innovation services to Dutch SME’s. With a central office in Nieuwegein, near Utrecht, and fifteen regional offices throughout the Netherlands, there is a low geographical barrier to obtain solid advice from Syntens.

Furthermore, Syntens has no commercial interests because the Department of Economic Affairs and other parties in the public sector attach a great deal of importance to innovation. Hence, they finance Syntens’ activities. This also allows Syntens to operate independent, free of commercial interest and at no cost to the entrepreneur. In exchange the entrepreneur is expected to display inquisitiveness, effort and involvement.
