Training Academy
Practical training that gets used. Workshops, masterclasses and programmes for entrepreneurs, professionals, students and organisations — delivered in person, online, hybrid, or built around your team.

What we teach
Every training below runs as an open programme, as an in-house session for a single organisation, or as a module inside a larger custom programme.
Doing Business in the Netherlands
The full picture: ecosystem, culture, financing, market entry and networks.
Dutch Business Culture
Directness, consensus, hierarchy and the unwritten rules of a Dutch meeting room.
From Idea to Business
Validation, customer discovery and the discipline of turning a good idea into something that holds up.
Business Model Development
Build, test and stress-test a business model that works in a European market.
Intercultural Business Communication
Working across cultures without losing clarity, and reading what is not being said.
Networking in the Netherlands
How Dutch professional networks actually function, and how to enter them credibly.
Understanding the Dutch Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Who the institutions are, what they fund, and where a newcomer fits.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship
How Dutch innovation environments operate — and how to plug into them.
International Business Development
Building a pipeline, partnerships and a market presence across borders.
Market Entry
Sequencing an entry properly: research, positioning, partners, first customers.
Professional Skills
Negotiation, presenting, stakeholder management and written communication.
Custom Programme
Built from the ground up for your organisation, cohort or delegation.
Formats
Four ways to run it
The format follows the group, not the other way round. A cohort of twelve founders needs something different from a visiting delegation of forty.
-
In person
Amsterdam and across the Netherlands. Room, cohort, coffee, and the conversations that happen between sessions.
-
Online
Live and facilitated, not pre-recorded. Built for participants in other time zones.
-
Hybrid
A mixed cohort where remote participants are genuinely in the session, not watching it.
-
In-house
Delivered at your organisation, using your context, your sector and your actual challenges.
Coming next
The Academy is being built to become a platform
Today the Academy is a catalogue and a booking conversation. The architecture underneath is already prepared for participant accounts, online modules, video lessons, progress tracking, certificates and cohort management — so adding them later is a feature release rather than a rebuild.
