We are several entrepreneurs who moved with their families to the Netherlands on a start-up visa before and during the pandemic and decided to join forces to help Russian-speaking people from different countries who are forced to leave their country to start a new business or project in Europe, because you know what the situation is. And also for those who are already in the Netherlands and would like to start a business.
Our website and Telegram channel https://t.me/skilltostart contain information about available support measures, business news and networking, and useful courses.
We help you develop a step-by-step plan and implement your business in the Netherlands, going from idea to business, and host a series of free webinars to share our knowledge, experience and up-to-date information. The next free webinar is September 6, 2022.
Details and registration below.
The Netherlands is one of the few European countries that still issues start-up and business visas to citizens of Russia and Belarus. The country, which is one of the five most competitive economies in the world, is also one of the most tolerant.
The Netherlands has a well-developed start-up ecosystem with 10 leading innovation hubs where start-ups benefit from world-class business incubators and research centers.
A prerequisite for obtaining a startup visa is to support a startupfacilitator authorized by the Dutch government.The facilitator provides a residence permit for the family of the founder and co-founders, helps to find a co-founder and develop the idea, conducts acceleration programs, introduces networking, helps to attract financial support.
Where can you find such a facilitator? How to choose the right one and what are the conditions and options for cooperation with facilitators? Do I have to pay for the services of a facilitator? Can a facilitator pay a startup? How about investing in a startup? And how to successfully complete the application?
We will answer these and other questions on interaction with facilitators in detail at the webinar on September 6th.
