100% together, 100% green
Everything comes together at Techport: companies, schools, governments, investors and talents, each contributing in their own way to a sustainable future. Nowhere in the Netherlands will you find such a concentration of knowledge, decisiveness and innovative spirit as here in IJmond.
Maybe you didn't know that yet. Because we don't believe in talking endlessly about problems, we believe in coming up with solutions. That is why we bring together innovative thinkers and doers to accelerate the technological innovations needed for a sustainable future.
For more than a decade, we have shown that cooperation leads to inspiring innovations, infectious energy and concrete results. We do this with guts, energy and results. 100% together, 100% green.
A BETTER PLANET NEEDS DREAMERS. BUT, ABOVE ALL, LOTS OF PROFESSIONALS.
Sustainable Business × Human Capital
Techport works on two tracks: Sustainable Business and Human Capital. That says that we both accelerate sustainability and invest in the people and skills needed to achieve it. From field labs to HR processes and from matchmaking to training: our offer is broad, practical and always focused on impact.
From our locations, labs and tools, we facilitate experiments and projects that contribute to our goal. Meanwhile, we inspire companies, professionals and young people with stories, events and practical examples that show what is possible. And we don't just do that today - we continuously work on the skills and talents that will make the difference tomorrow.
this is how we make an impact:
inspire
New ideas arise when you share them. That is why we organise knowledge sessions, inspiration sessions and company visits in which innovation and sustainability become tangible. We take entrepreneurs and professionals on study trips and trade fairs, introduce young people to technology through initiatives such as Spacebuzz, and tell stories that motivate and set them in motion. In this way, we ensure that companies, education and students not only know what is possible, but also experience it.
Accelerate
Good ideas deserve speed. With programmes like the Green Incubator, pilots and fieldlab use cases, we help entrepreneurs and innovation teams get their plans off the ground faster. Via Smart Tech Vouchers, strategic HR advice and LLO (Lifelong Development) processes, we make the step from idea to implementation smaller and feasible. This is how we support companies and professionals to stay agile, develop new products and create value.
connect
The biggest breakthroughs happen through collaboration. Techport brings together companies, schools, government and students. We do this through matchmaking sessions, the Techport Talent Pool, the Technology Garden and initiatives such as Innovation Tribes and Tech Heroes. We link students to companies, organise dinners and networking activities and create platforms where chain partners find each other. This creates new collaborations that deliver results faster and ensure a stronger region.
facilitating
No innovation without a solid foundation. That is why we provide the tools, labs and housing to make ideas come true. Think of the Techport Innovation Centre, the Smart Sensor Lab and us Fieldlab Edge AI for Smart Industry. We also support with subsidies, monitoring and accountability, and help with capacity and accommodation. In this way, we ensure that entrepreneurs and educational institutions have everything they need to actually implement their plans.
