Startup Night: Climate & Energy Transition
After a successful first edition of the joint Alumni Startup Night together with Eindhoven University of Technology, we are pleased to announce the next edition.

Connecting, sharing knowledge and experiences, networking and supporting the new generation of entrepreneurs. Those are the ingredients of the Startup Night. The foundations for many successful technological companies and products were laid by our former students.
