Cheers to an inspiring 2022!

We could devote many words to this year, but above all we look forward with you to 2022: a year full of inspiration, great opportunities and a continuation of our pleasant collaboration. We wish you happy holidays and an inspiring new year!

Curious about the highlights of last year? View the monitor and a number of interesting podcasts and videos with Frisian innovators below.

The impact of startups

The absolute number of startups and scale-ups is relatively small. In contrast, the economic and social impact is considerable! In addition to direct employment, each job created at startups and scaleups generates almost 5 indirect jobs spread across all education levels. Productivity is three times higher and turnover grows four times faster than in SMEs.

But that's not all: the dynamism of startups and scale-ups stimulates established companies and industries to innovate as well. With startups and scale-ups we are accelerating the transition in areas such as energy, circular economy, healthcare and digitization. We collected all available data of last year to create a clear overview. View below the results within the 2021 Frisian startup ecosystem.
