For AI startups seeking accelerated growth
As an AI startup, your goals are to break through, scale up, and make an impact. Building a groundbreaking company presents numerous challenges. How do you attract follow-on funding to accelerate your growth? How do you find and retain top talent to realize your ambitions? And how do you expand into new and international markets?
The AiNed Breaking Barriers program is designed to transform these challenges into opportunities. Through a tailored approach, we support you in accelerating your growth journey. Our mission? To strengthen the Dutch AI ecosystem by helping promising Dutch startups become successful international players. This is achieved in collaboration with a network of valuable partners.
1. Grow with focus
Achieve tangible growth results in just 9 months that will take your AI startup to the next level. Together, we'll define growth objectives that match your company’s ambitions.

Breaking Barriers offers targeted support and guidance in the areas that make the difference in scaling up.
3. A network that works
