LeapSprong Amsterdam

Accelerating the energy transition works best when innovative entrepreneurs collaborate with companies and governments. Do you, as a European start-up or scale-up, have an innovation that can accelerate the transition in the Port of Amsterdam and/or the broader Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (AMA)? Then quickly read more about LeapSprong Amsterdam, the innovation program for entrepreneurs who are working on a sustainable and circular energy system in the North Sea Canal area.

LeapSprong Amsterdam is an open innovation program that helps you as an innovative start-up or scale-up to translate your ambitions into actions and challenges into opportunities, so that you can ultimately enter the market faster with a solution. The aim of the organizers of the program (Municipality of Amsterdam, Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam (ETCA) and Rockstart) is to make the broader Amsterdam region climate-neutral and circular as quickly as possible through collaborations between entrepreneurs, companies and governments.
