Europe is a haven of untapped potential. Its complex cultural landscape is shifting to foster a vibrant startup scene with Amsterdam emerging as an innovation leader. Amsterdam is, and has always been, an innovative city that adapts to new developments. Now, a generation of curious and tech savvy makers and creators have helped the city evolve into one of Europe’s hottest test beds for innovation. The early strengths of the Netherlands’ budding startup scene — software, space, smart energy, financial tech, digital health, sharing technology and 3D printing, among others — coincide with the overall direction of decentralization.
