At ROM InWest we focus on game changers: ambitious start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs that, with their innovations, are able to accelerate the food transition, the energy transition, digitalisation and/or the transition to a circular economy.
ROM InWest is the regional development company for North Holland. Our team of over thirty driven professionals, based in Haarlem, supports startups, scale-ups and SMEs whose innovations contribute to the food transition, energy transition, Life Science & Health, digitalisation and circular economy. We help with finding external financiers and invest look at these companies yourself. In addition to financing, ROM InWest supports entrepreneurs with various programmes in scaling up and making their solutions bankable. For offering knowledge and networks, we work closely with parties in and outside the region.
Innovation comes from entrepreneurship, knowledge, money and a network. That is why we are open to others and want to learn continuously. We work transparently and in close cooperation with regional companies, knowledge institutions and governments to achieve results quickly and effectively.
