Engage, collaborate and let TTT-AI work for you in a way that suits your organisations’ needs.
To build and strengthen the Dutch AI industry and knowledge ecosystem, collaboration is key. In the TTT-AI Venture Building program, the national TTT-AI team of business developers combine their network, experience, startups and AI knowledge to guide the startups from the (affiliated) partners. In doing so, the business developers help boost the overall AI startup ecosystem in the Netherlands. However, this requires a collaboration of many different organizations within the ecosystem, such as your organization.
Organizations such as (applied) universities or national research institutes fall under this category. Often value comes from support from the local business developers (from either Amsterdam, Utrecht, Nijmegen or Eindhoven) to researchers that work on startups in your knowledge institute. Support can take many shapes, from giving feedback on a business case, pointing out similar cases in other knowledge institutes and introduce them, sharing contacts with industry, assigning mentors to the team, or contacting investors in the ecosystem. Dutch research and knowledge institutes who want to increase their impact and their number of AI research based spin-offs finds in TTT-AI the knowledge network they need.
Venture capitalists, investors, and Regional Investment Agencies (ROM’s) are in this category. Often value comes from being the first to hear about state-of-the-art, new AI ventures and startups that are looking for (pre-)seed funding.
Often value comes from more applications from state-of-the-art AI startups, due to the business developers pro-actively promoting the incubator and accelerator programs offered in the region.
