Dear reader,
We’re proud to share with you our 2021 Impact Report.
With almost 350 sessions taking place during Venture Café’s Thursday Gatherings in 2022, we housed an incredible amount of knowledge, expertise and inspiration on a week-to-week basis. A total of 147 speakers have dedicated their time and effort to host break out sessions, office hours or info tables as part of our Thursday programs.
In our Thursday program in 2022 we explored monthly themes such as sustainability, resilience, robotics, and life sciences & health. We work with monthly themes as a red thread for our programming as it allows for like-minded visitors to connect, share knowledge and exchange expertise around the subject at hand. Something we like to call engineered serendipity.
Venture Café is committed to support the Sustainable Development Goals which can be seen back in our program: More than 348 session revolved one of the SDGs.
“In September Venture Café became the official SDG House for the City of Rotterdam. We are very proud that we are the hotspot for all events focused on sustainability and entrepreneurship. A place where innovators meet that have a common wish to achieve the 17 Sustainable development goals of the United Nations. As innovation is the way to change and create a better world. ”
