About us

We don’t wait for the future, we build it.

​HighTechXL is the Netherlands’ premier deep-tech venture builder, solving societal challenges by combining groundbreaking technologies and entrepreneurship. We bring together and activate technology, talent, funding and a strong ecosystem in our unique Venture Building Program.

We support founders as they progress through our proprietary 1-year DeepTech Venture Builder Program and connect them with essential resources, such as investors, advisors, and customers.

We start from scouting groundbreaking technologies at TRL3+ and identifying the most promising ones from major tech institutes like CERN, European Space Agency (ESA), TNO, Philips and other global innovators. Next, we promote a structured cofounder selection process to tap into a pool of vetted entrepreneurial talent. This, combined with a validated market opportunity, is the entry ticket into the program.
