Maurice joined Techleap.nl originally to lead the Capital domain, looking at structural ways to increase available funding for Dutch scaleups, and more urgently during Covid. Since November 2019 he has taken the Managing Director role, working with the Techleap.nl team to create a thriving Dutch startup tech ecosystem capable and positioned to grow. Maurice was CEO of Euronext Amsterdam between 2015 to 2019 where he, among others, looked at attracting tech companies to the Dutch market. As the Managing Director at Techleap.nl, Maurice will open this summit with a welcome message and some closing remarks at the end. As he is also an expert in all things funding, Maurice will also moderate the 'Dutch LPs | Why funding tech is worth the risk?' breakout session.
