Startup night 2025

🚀 Last Week was THE Startup Night! 🚀

Last week, we saw the power of innovation, entrepreneurship, and collaboration come to life at Eindhoven University of Technology! The yearly Startup Night with the theme Innovation in Healthcare brought together founders, investors, and healthcare experts to shape the future of healthcare innovation and what a turnout it was!

🔥 The night was packed with insights and opportunities. Thank you to our hosts Bob van der Meulen and Linn Smetsers, for presenting the entire event on stage. And A huge thank you to the speakers:

✨ Martijn Cox (Xeltis)
✨ Laure van der Sanden (ARTIC Technologies)
✨ Cindy van Goor & 🌱 Stefan Nieuwenhuijsen (AINAR)

And, of course, a special mention to Vice-Rector Maginificus Antoinette de Bont and Rector Magnificus Silvia Lenaerts for their visionary insights and representation of Tilburg University and the TU/e.

💡 But this event wasn’t just about talks, it was about connections. Through the Conversation Starter, attendees made new connections and exchanged bold ideas.

🙏 A massive thank you to the organizers and partners: Natasja van der Velden-Huijboom, Tilburg University, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Tilburg University IQONIC, The Gate, TIAS School for Business and Society, and JADS Playground Jheronimus for making this night a success.

The energy in the room was amazing, and we’re excited to see where these new connections lead. Until next time, keep pushing boundaries and driving innovation! 🚀
