StartHub Community of Practice

At StartHub Wageningen, we believe in the power of communities of practice—peer-driven networks where entrepreneurs, innovators, and educators come together to share knowledge, build confidence, and grow through collective learning. These communities thrive on real connection and mutual support, turning individual ambition into shared progress. StartHub serves as a dynamic clubhouse for these communities, offering an open space for dialogue, collaboration, and experimentation. One example is our Community of Practice for Female Entrepreneurs, where female founders support each other in navigating the challenges of early-stage innovation.
