'Plenty of opportunities to start a new business'

Erik Boer - managing director Startup Village Amsterdam

'Business opportunities through big data are plentiful. As an UvA data science and business (MSc) graduate you will be able to identify these opportunities and turn them into useful solutions.'

'You can start a new technology company in order to create data-driven innovations and services for many industries. As a graduate you have skills and knowledge in both business and data science. This combination is still unique and often lacking among startup founders.'

'Graduates who intend to have their own startup company will certainly help to bridge the gap between data science and business.'
