Demonstrator Lab Open House '26

The Vrije Universiteit's entrepreneurship lab opens up for an afternoon: a demo market of 40-plus student and researcher startups, lab and makerspace tours, and 3D printing demos. Demonstrator Lab Amsterdam runs it on the VU campus. The demo market runs 13:00 to 17:00, with networking drinks from 16:00 to 18:00. You can book speed dates with business developers and investors, and IXA-GO runs a session on working with VU researchers, impact grants and IP. Funders taking part include the Amsterdam Student Investment Fund, pre-seed VCs and Innovatiefonds Noord-Holland. The six VU Dream Teams show their work too. Registration is on Eventbrite. Walk-ins from the VU community are welcome. Why go: the quickest way to see what's coming out of VU labs before it has a pitch deck. Best for pre-seed investors, scouts and anyone hunting for a technical co-founder.
