What we do
Preneurz brings together universities, students, SMEs, and entrepreneurs to foster innovation. We prioritize the needs of SMEs in outside-in projects by creating workspaces in collaboration with students and we support universities in educating about entrepreneurship through inside-out projects. We also develop European programs for universities.
SME Workspaces
We establish workspaces where students from varied educational backgrounds collaborate with SMEs on projects related to circular and digital economies. It covers digital themes such as data and AI, process management, online marketing, and circular economy themes like new business models, and circular design. For SMEs the perfect opportunity to get connected to university students and tap into state-of-the-art knowledge.
In addition to access to young talent through the workspaces, Preneurz also offers SMEs access to programs for access to capital (PIM) and business growth (Ready to Scale).
Entrepreneurship
We create projects in which universities can assist students and researchers in starting their businesses. To achieve this, we establish startup programmes on various university campuses, both in the Netherlands and internationally; we provide masterclasses for university teachers and leaders on ‘how to teach entrepreneurship’ or ‘how to build entrepreneurship ecosystems’. For example our projects the Entrepreneurial University (Greece), Tirana Inc. (Albania) or the Academic Startup Competition (with Teachleap in the Netherlands).
European programmes
At Preneurz we use our personal and many years of experience with entrepreneurship and innovation in and around universities in combination with our extensive and experienced network of experts in the field, for European cooperation. This makes Preneurz the ideal partner for European collaborative projects focusing on economic and social transitions, entrepreneurship, and academia-enterprise collaboration.
