After making guest appearances at Emerce eDay and Picnic, tomorrow the 4th edition of the Incubator Exchange will take place at the World Tennis Tournament. Mediaguild, ABN AMRO Dialogues Incubator and Emerce founded the Incubator Exchange.

The 37th edition of the World Tennis Tournament, which takes place at Ahoy in Rotterdam from February 8-14, will sport the likes of Rafael Nadal, Robin Soderling and Novak Djokovic on its center court; an ideal occasion to bring Holland’s top innovators together as well. Attendees are thereafter invited as a VIP guest of ABN AMRO/Incubator Exchange, for the tennis tournament.

The Incubator Exchange was founded in 2008. Reason behind this was the lack of professionals being able to meet other like minded people from various backgrounds. As Auke and Jaspar had found out, it is highly enjoyable being in the practice of really open innovation. One of their results is the soon to be launched artstart, an online art trading venture.
As of 2009, Gijs Vroom from Emerce joined the ranks to accelerate the platform. Auke is Incubator Manager at Mediaguild Jaspar is Business Development Manager at the Dialogues Incubator and Gijs is Publisher at Emerce.
