Meet the new ‘Soft-Landers’ going to Berlin, Paris, Zoetermeer, India and Silicon Valley!

 

What are the Soft-Landing Missions?

Soft-Landing missions give startups, scaleups and ecosystem builders (local leaders, influencers, changemakers) the chance to dive into a foreign environment and see how to grow internationally. Missions are usually a week long, however startups also have the opportunity to extend their stay to one month (and receive scaling support) at our European destinations.

The destinations for the second round of Soft-Landing mission are Zoetermeer (The Netherlands), Berlin (Germany), Paris (France), Silicon Valley (USA), New Delhi & Bangalore (India). These locations have been selected as they offer thriving, dynamic and diverse environments for startups, scaleups and ecosystem builders to explore and discover.

 

Who are the new ‘Soft-Landers’?

After a competitive selection process, more than 100 startups, scaleups and ecosystem builders have been selected for the second round of missions. The new ‘Soft-Landers’ come from a wide variety of backgrounds and from all over Europe. Their technical skills and global ambitions mean that they will reap the benefits of these missions abroad.

The experience for startups/scaleups and ecosystem builders is slightly different, with startups/scaleups embarking on a five-day trip, and the ecosystem builders joining the group for three to five days.
