12-13 september - Eindhoven & Essen

Eindhoven, the home of Philips, is a world-class innovative region. Study Visit participants will benefit from a trip to HealthWorks, a breakthrough healthtech accelerator powered by Philips. They will learn about best practices in business angel syndication and cross border cooperation from a Dutch perspective and benefit from in-depth analyses on health investing and crowdfunding.
After checking out the Netherlands, the Study Visit participants will cross the border to the Ruhr region of Germany on 13 September. There, they'll have the chance to experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein at Essen and learn about how the area has transitioned from a coal mining hub to a digital hotspot. We'll travel to the Ruhr Hub, a world-class accelerator for digital start-ups, and discuss how Germany rewards Europe's business angels. There'll also be a guided tour at the Impact Hub, an innovative accelerator designed to support social entrepreneurs. Check out the ESIL website for the programme and to register.
