Amsterdam — Week of 11 May 2026

Cenex Nederland brings together transport innovators, policymakers, fleet operators, and tech builders for a full-day exchange on the future of sustainable mobility. The programme explores cutting-edge clean transport solutions — from EV infrastructure and shared mobility to green logistics, connected vehicles, and digital platforms for mobility management. Tolhuistuin, on the north bank of the IJ directly across from Amsterdam Central, provides a distinctive riverside setting. Free to attend and open to the public. Highly relevant for anyone working in cleantech, smart cities, transport technology, or digital infrastructure — or building software for the mobility sector.

Startup Valley's regular Amsterdam gathering at I Dock brings together founders, engineers, operators, and investors for an evening of structured networking in one of the city's most waterfront startup venues. The format is designed for real conversations, not rushed card swaps — attendance is purposefully curated to keep the room high-signal. Free general admission; premium tickets include priority access and pitch opportunities. Part of Startup Valley's global community spanning major tech cities.

Startup Valley brings a focused pitch format to I Dock — four to eight early-stage startups pitch live to a panel of angel investors and VC partners, with real feedback in the room. The format is designed for founders who want direct investor access and operators who want to see what is actually being built in Amsterdam right now. Limited attendance keeps the conversation tight. If you are raising, building, or actively looking for deals in the Amsterdam startup ecosystem, this is the most efficient room to be in on 12 May.
