Looking back
The last edition of Startup in Residence ended in December 2017 when our startups presented their developments at Demo Day. This was an inspiring event that attracted a lot of entrepreneurs, field experts and colleagues from the municipality. Some startups have since then been in discussion with municipality colleagues to further develop their prototype and sell their product: positive developments that made us eager to start working on the new edition!
Behind the scenes
In the past weeks, new urban challenges have been developed for the next edition of Startup in Residence. Civil servants came together to evaluate, brainstorm, discuss ideas with startups, citizens and experts in the field of entrepreneurship, provide feedback and develop urban challenges. These were dynamic sessions in which civil servants actively worked together.
