validation lab

Since 2020, we are the proud partner of Erasmus University Rotterdam running together the SocialTech Validation Lab.

The SocialTech Validation Lab focuses on promising tech solutions that contribute to a resilient and healthy society. Smart solutions in areas like mental health, physical health, home and prevention care. It is a pressure cooker. Providing a rich ecosystem of scientific, public and private partners, who bring extensive knowledge and guidance to this two-month program.

The program allows entrepreneurs to discover the market potential or perhaps a whole new market, for their SocialTech ideas. Participants explore and validate their idea, problem-solution fit and business model. The program will introduce them to stakeholders in the social domain as well as help them to develop a network of peers, experts, and mentors.
