AMSTERDAM (PRWEB)
December 23, 2019

Techleap.nl, the Netherlands’ startup ecosystem accelerator, today announced the 50 Dutch startup companies who will take part in the Netherlands Tech Square January 7 – 10 at Sands Expo, Eureka Park, Hall G-51726 in Las Vegas at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s gathering place for all those who thrive on the business of consumer technologies.

Dutch ingenuity has played a significant role in the world’s evolution over the past 500+ years, in large part because the Dutch are extremely good at finding smart solutions that address the world’s most challenging problems. The birthplace of WiFi, Bluetooth and LED technology, the Netherlands is a technology innovation leader in diverse sectors, and the participating Dutch startups at CES 2020 are no different. They focus heavily on the key sectors set to define future economies, including: sustainability, smart mobility, energy storage, energy solutions, clean energy, energy transition, smart cities, healthy living, consumer tech, AR/VR, audio and video, e-Commerce, AI, big data, blockchain, robotics, drones, sleeptech, medtech, healthtech, edtech and enterprise solutions.

“The Netherlands is a hotbed of groundbreaking technology and filled with ambitious entrepreneurs who will change society and the world as we know it,” said HRH Prince Constantijn van Oranje, Special Envoy to Techleap.nl and the Netherlands. “CES offers a fantastic opportunity for Dutch companies to engage with an international audience of investors, potential partners and new customers.”

With a population of just 17 million, 2019 has proven to be a record year in funding and startup output for the Netherlands. The country hit over $1 billion in investment for the first time and became the fastest growing startup region in the 2019 Genome Global Startup Ecosystem Report, helped by the successful exits of Adyen (a fintech company now valued at nearly $23 billion), Elastic(a search and data company currently valued at more than $6 billion), and new unicorn companies like GitLab. The Dutch government also made a €65 million fund available for startup and scale-up policies, and appointed six startup liaisons in six priority international metropolitan area hubs (San Francisco/Los Angeles, New York/Boston, Singapore, Berlin, Paris and London.
