How to successfully grow a hardware startup?

We are excited to announce our partnership with Upstream. We believe Upstream Festival is a key player for the thriving innovation ecosystem in Greater Rotterdam. It is the space for startups and scaleups to make connections they need, to thrive and build companies that change the world for the better. Since the first edition in 2020 Upstream has welcomed more than 12.000 startups, scaleups, investors, buyers and other changemakers from across Europe. The Rotterdam based festival is the place to be to connect startups & scaleups with investors.

Spark is the engine for startups, scaleups and investors to accelerate breakthrough designs and innovations to the market. We support start-ups on both strategic and creative levels, guiding them from the first ideas all the way to a successful product launch.

We are working with a selection of startups as an investor next to our role as a product development partner. We support promising hardware startups with investments up to 250k and support them to get to the next investment round. This year, we work with Upstream Festival to get in touch with promising hardware startups as an investor.
