is your sustainable idea ready for the next step?
Are you an SME, startup or scale-up looking to build a clean, smart and healthy world? Then the Techport Green Incubator is your springboard. In four intensive days, you get everything you need: practical tools, professional coaching and a network of investors, customers and partners. Together, we put your innovation on the cutting edge.
The Green Incubator is an accelerator programme for companies with a promising idea that is already in motion - for example, you already have sales or have closed a first deal. Your team is agile, your vision is in focus, but you are still looking for that real confirmation: does the market really want this?
Together, we will test and prove it. We work on your value proposition, validate your idea and bring focus to your growth strategy. So you go home with a validated plan and a network that helps you move forward. In short: we give your innovation the green light.

Vier dagen waarin jouw innovatie de versnelling krijgt die het verdient!

nieuwe ideeen, kennis delen & netwerken
Vanuit The Green Incubator organiseren we maandelijks laagdrempelige momenten om samen te komen, kennis te delen en nieuwe ideeën tot leven te brengen: het Techport Netwerkontbijt en het Techport Innovatie Café. Nieuwsgierig naar de volgende edities? Bekijk de aankomende ontbijten en cafés in onze agenda and join us for a dose of inspiration, innovation and connection.
network breakfast
The best conversations don't start behind a laptop, but at breakfast. During the Networking Breakfast, you will meet other entrepreneurs from the region in an informal setting. Over a croissant and good conversation, you will share insights, make new connections and discover opportunities to work together on a sustainable future.
innovation café
In the afternoon, we move the inspiration to the Innovation Café. Here, together with experts, entrepreneurs and students, we dive into current topics such as AI, hydrogen, digitalisation and energy storage. A relaxed setting where new ideas emerge, knowledge is shared and the next collaborations often start at the bar.
Je kunt de activiteiten van de Green Incubator volgen via de LinkedIn Green Incubator.
Our executive partner in this project is Innomics.
Techport Green Incubator is made possible in part by a grant from the Just Transition Fund IJmond.
