Hubcrawl · Connecting Networks

We connect you with the Dutch innovation ecosystem.

Hubcrawl designs tailor-made tours for delegations, executives and policymakers. We open doors that don't open through regular channels — to the hubs, scale-ups, infrastructure and institutions that matter for your objectives — and connect you with the people who build them. Curated around your theme, moderated independently, and followed through after you leave.

Tailor-made tours, built around your objectives

Every delegation comes with its own questions. We start from yours, then compose the programme from our ecosystem network: start-up and scale-up hubs, infrastructure, listed technology companies, knowledge institutions and regional triple-helix incubators.
01

Intake

A 60–90 minute session on objectives, sector focus and the counterparts you want in the room.

02

Curation

Hubcrawl assembles the itinerary, speakers and closed sessions, and confirms the partners.

03

Delivery

Your delegation is hosted end to end: transfers, venues, catering and moderation.

04

Follow-through

Action Pack and return session, with an optional advisory sprint.

What's included

  • ✓ A curated programme with a continuous narrative, not a series of separate site visits
  • ✓ Access to organisations that are not open through regular channels
  • ✓ Neutral, independent moderation of every session — open debate without commercial pressure
  • ✓ Ground transport, venues and catering; a dedicated programme lead and logistics coordinator on site
  • ✓ Evening programme and networking dinner; hotel arranged for multi-day tours
  • ✓ Action Pack two weeks after the tour, plus access to the Hubcrawl alumni community

Tailor-made tours are quoted per delegation, based on the itinerary agreed in the intake session. Minimum group size 12 participants.

Ad-hoc visits don't add up. A curated tour does.

🚧

Fragmented information

Delegations struggle to get a coherent, connected view of a country's innovation ecosystem. Individual visits are ad-hoc and lack strategic context.

⏱

No time for depth

Leaders lack the time and access for deep exploration. Current alternatives are superficial, with little follow-up or actionable output.

Hubcrawl is the structured answer

One coherent programme with a connecting narrative instead of separate site visits — and direct contacts for follow-up on your own terms.

  • ✓ Curated by ecosystem insiders, not travel agents
  • ✓ Neutral moderation in a high-trust, diplomatic setting
  • ✓ Independent and neutral: we don't sell you any partner's product
  • ✓ Designed for concrete follow-up: partnerships, pilots and procurement conversations
  • ✓ Hand-picked stops across the Dutch innovation hubs
  • ✓ Return session with Action Pack for concrete follow-up
