We’re back with another exciting Holland in the Valley Alumni Event! Join us on Thursday, 16th May 2024 from 5:30-8:00 PM at the Netherlands Consulate in San Francisco to connect with fellow alumni and academic entrepreneurs from leading Dutch universities.

This event is particularly significant as we welcome Techleap and the Academic Startup Program to the Bay Area, alongside the Internships in the Valley program. With this collaboration, we're aiming for a bigger and more diverse networking evening where you can reconnect with alumni from Dutch universities, such as Utrecht University, Leiden University, Maastricht University, Tilburg University, University of Amsterdam, and VU Amsterdam.

Join us for an evening of networking, collaborating, and building new connections. This event is a great opportunity to engage in a discussion about the role of universities as innovation drivers and offers invaluable insights into the transformative power of initiatives like Internships in the Valley, Academic Startup Program and ScaleNL.
