On Wednesday afternoon, October 7, 2026, the Dutch AI ecosystem will once again host an AI Startup-Investor Matchmaking Event in the Amsterdam Hembrugterrein area. We will bring together promising AI startups and investors from the Netherlands and neighboring countries. (Exact time to be announced).
Who is this event intended for?
- AI startups and spin-offs that are developing groundbreaking AI technologies and are seeking (pre-)seed, Series A, or corporate investment.
- Investors and representatives of corporate investors who want to connect with the next generation of AI innovators.
This event is not intended for startups that use off-the-shelf AI without further innovation and/or development.
What to expect?
Approximately 15–20 investors, including European partners, for one-on-one matchmaking sessions with pre-selected startups: 5 rounds of 20 minutes each. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss growth plans, investment needs, and AI solutions directly with relevant partners.
You can also attend inspiring presentations on AI business cases and regional, national, and EU support programs for young AI companies, such as“Breaking Barriers”by AIC4NL, the TTT-AI program that supports academic entrepreneurship, and LLM-BRIDGE, a pan-European accelerator for GenAI and LLM startups.
Why participate?
- Specially organized meetings between investors, large companies, and startups focused on AI and deep tech
- Expand your network with valuable contacts from the Netherlands and abroad
