The Dutch AI Manifesto

We have become Europe's mainport twice. Schiphol for people. Rotterdam for goods. Now we are building the third: AI and data.

The land of Dutch Design and ethical pioneers. Where entrepreneurial spirit and tech meet. Where we don't talk but act. Framer is defining how websites are built. Weaviate democratizes AI. Cradle is hacking medicine. No hype. Just impact.

The world doesn't know our stories. Investors are missing us. A hidden goldmine.

Until now.

dutchstartup.ai will become the beating heart of Dutch AI. A living platform where every startup, every founder, every innovation becomes visible. Not a report that disappears in a drawer. Not a policy document full of good intentions. But a functioning ecosystem that grows, connects, and accelerates.

We chart the entire Dutch AI scene. From the initial idea to unicorn status. We tell the stories behind the technology. The people who work through the night for breakthroughs. The investors who dare to believe. The talents who choose impact over salary.

This platform is built by and for the community. With founding partners like ROM Nederland who see the importance of a connected ecosystem. With Studio Hyra as the founding agency that knows how to tell stories that stick. With founders who want to strengthen each other rather than compete.

We showcase what makes Dutch AI unique. Our combination of world-famous design, ethical standards from which others can learn, business trust that goes back generations, and down-to-earth innovation that solves real problems.

Stockholm has set the example. From 0 to 40+ unicorns by building an ecosystem instead of standalone companies. We have everything they have. Plus an identity of our own that the world needs.

The revolution has already begun. The platform grows. The community is forming. The momentum builds.

Dutch AI. Built Different.
