  • What it’s for

    Promote social entrepreneurship for innovation and well-being

Boost Je Buurt is a program having the goal to promote social entrepreneurship and new ventures that can positively influence the innovation and well-being of one of the cities of the Netherlands. This specific focus is due to the fact that the main sponsor of the incubator is the municipality of the city.
• The incubator offers programs that resemble entrepreneurship challenges, where the participants can win a cash prize that will help the funding entrepreneurs to further expand their startup.
• The criteria for participations are that the startup needs to have a social value, it needs to be located in the same city of the incubator, and it needs to have financial feasibility and independence.
• The incubator outsources their training to another important incubator of the city. The trainings are given through interactive workshops where participants learn about testing their ideas with the target group, pitching, crowdfunding and campaigning, positioning and website building.
• The language of the program is in Dutch, although non-Dutch speaking people are welcome (this is facilitated if their funding partners speak Dutch).
