  • M2i helps and guides the processes that are necessary to start up a new business.

  • M2i helps with new business creation by means of project support, M2i membership, use of the M2i network, making available use of all facilities within our institute, and guidance in financial possibilities offered by the Dutch government.

Service for M2i researchers
The Start-up Companies module provides a special service to PhDs and PostDocs of M2i who want to start a new business or are curious to find out how to set up a business of their own. M2i also helps people who have a great idea for business creation, but do not want to start on their own.
