Set Goals
At Gulliver we believe that setting goals is important and therefore participating in the Gulliver competition
begins with setting your personal goals for your enterprise.
Build Your Enterprise
The three most important factors for building your new enterprise are speaking to the right people,
gathering the right feedback and attracting the right amount of funding.
During the second phase of the competition we help you to do exactly that.
Gulliver is not a school where we teach you how to build your company, but a gateway to all the information, network and resources you need.
Win €10.000,-
Money is an important resource often missing in start-ups. Gulliver therefore grants the most promising new Life Sciences enterprise of the year a cash prize of €10.000,-!
We’re committed to helping you make progress.
To foster more innovation in the Netherlands, they will be offering an additional €2,500- cash prize
for the best start-up in our the “All Innovation” category
