NLWorks

    Many international business ideas start with Dutch entrepreneurs, the government or knowledge institutions. Many of these ideas have the potential to create a lasting, positive impact, but lack the national or foreign support and network to turn them into a viable proposition and business case. NLWorks bridges the gap between a feasible market idea and a solid business case. We follow up promising early stage ideas that are supported by groups of companies that fall dry on government support and that are perceived as too risky for commercial financial parties to get on board. NLWorks has the tools, knowledge and network to combine public and private forces, find fit-for-purpose financing, conquer new international markets and help solve societal challenges. Our programs are challenging and complex by design. We strive for a high level and intend to have a large-scale impact. By aligning public and private interests, applying focus and working on a scalable and financially feasible business case, we believe that we can help our partnerships to achieve the international goals. We build these partnerships based on trust and confidence in each partner's strengths and expertise to achieve a shared ambition. And we ensure that our programs meet policy goals, local needs and help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
