KPMG is a proud supporter of the Dutch startup ecosystem

The Netherlands is home to a vibrant, collaborative startup ecosystem and KPMG is proud to be part of it. For years, KPMG has been closely connected with startups and scaleups, supporting some of the most iconic Dutch companies like Adyen, Booking.com and Otrium in their growth.

In 2016, KPMG became a founding partner of tech-hub TNW Spaces together with Google, ABN AMRO and Booking.com. Since then, many more collaborations with leading incubators, accelerators, hubs and programs have followed, extending KPMG’s support for startups and scaleups throughout the ecosystem and the Netherlands.

By hosting regular events, office hours, and workshops with these organizations, we make KPMG’s knowledge and expertise accessible for startups and scaleups. We’re also proud to collaborate on the Dutch Startup Report – a quarterly report that provides insight into current trends in the Dutch ecosystem.
