Venture Centre

About us

At the Venture Centre, our focus is on cultivating entrepreneurial talent and driving sustainable impact. We connect innovative minds with real-world challenges, preparing them to excel in diverse professional paths.

We empower students and recent alumni (up to two years) to develop their entrepreneurial competences. We support transforming their innovative ideas into ventures that drive sustainable impact. Our mission is to train participants to solve societal and economic challenges—whether as entrepreneurs, professionals in established companies, or contributors to non-profits organisations.

Through our programs and events, we focus on building core competences like problem-solving, creative thinking, and collaboration, always with a strong connection to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We work closely with external partners to bridge the gap between academic ideas and real-world impact, fostering a vibrant ecosystem where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. As part of Innovation Exchange Amsterdam (IXA), we are the AUAS Hub where innovation-driven entrepreneurship meets real-world problem solving.
