The Dutch tech ecosystem is riding a wave of momentum, defying broader European trends and cementing its position as one of the continent’s leading startup powerhouses.
According to Techleap’s latest report, Dutch startups raised a total of €3.1 million in venture capital over the past year, representing a significant 47% increase compared to 2023. This figure is particularly impressive considering that startup investments across Europe decreased by 5% during the same period.
Nearly 35 per cent of the Dutch tech landscape now consists of deep tech startups, with artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and semiconductor innovation leading the charge.
Nowhere is this shift more visible than in Amsterdam.
The city has become a centre for talent and investment, with important developments like QDNL Participations’ €60M quantum fund and the EU choosing Amsterdam Science Park as the site for a new quantum computer, adds the report.
Although they make up less than 10 per cent of the startup market, Dutch scale-ups account for about 15 per cent of tech jobs, employing over 55,000 people.
Major companies like Adyen, Mollie, Picnic, and Fastned help make Amsterdam one of Europe’s most exciting places for innovation.
In this regard, we have compiled a list of Amsterdam startups that have raised funding, and some of them are hiring.
