About UtrechtInc Startup Incubator

UtrechtInc helps entrepreneurial researchers, ambitious students and founders turn their ideas into successful startups. We are closely linked to Utrecht University, UMC Utrecht, and Hogeschool Utrecht. Our innovative startups operate primarily in healthcare, sustainability, education and artificial intelligence.
