Programme

This year’s event is organised on the occasion of the visit of Techleap & the Academic Startup Competition to the Bay Area and the Internships in the Valley program. Experience an engaging panel discussion and join us for a discussion about the role of universities as innovation drivers. Gain valuable insights into the impact of academic initiatives like Internships in the Valley and Academic Startup Competition and learn why Silicon Valley has become a global model for successful technology transfer. 

Internships in the Valley

Learn more about the Internships in the Valley program, a unique initiative that guides master's/PhD students and recent graduates to find paid internships at companies in the US. The program is actively seeking mentors and new partner companies, so take this as an opportunity to connect with young talent and give back to the Dutch community in the Bay Area.

Come together with alumni from the University of Amsterdam, Utrecht University, Leiden University, Maastricht University, Tilburg University and VU Amsterdam. With a network of over 1,200 alumni from Dutch universities in the Bay Area, Holland in the Valley serves as a vital bridge between the Netherlands and Silicon Valley.
