From the Flux Forward organisation register · Not edited on this site How we check thisHide
Organisation records are published from the Flux Forward organisation register and shown here exactly as that register holds them. We do not research, write or edit them on this site, and a listing is not an endorsement or a sign that an organisation can help with your situation. Check the organisation's own website before acting.
Its website, programmes and application information are published in English, so a student, graduate or academic who has moved to Rotterdam can take part without Dutch.
About
Erasmus Enterprise is the entrepreneurship community attached to Erasmus University Rotterdam, on the Woudestein campus, and the university lists it among its own services. Its stated purpose is to bring separate bodies together in one location: the university's research and business support office, its centre for entrepreneurship, and a technology incubator based in Delft, so that expertise from both cities is reachable from one place. On the money side it works with a regional investment fund and a graduate entrepreneur fund and puts members in contact with alumni investors. It sets out its support in four stages: building entrepreneurial skills, developing a business idea, growing a business, and scaling it. Named activities include a university challenge, a startup voucher, a national startup competition and a talent programme, alongside community events on campus. The audiences it names are students and graduates, employees and academics, alumni and investors, and partner organisations. No page gives a separate legal entity, so it operates under the university rather than as a company of its own.

Good to know
- Its audiences are the university's students, graduates, staff, academics and alumni. It is not an open service for founders with no link to the university.
- It convenes and connects rather than delivering the programmes itself: the funds, the incubator and the entrepreneurship centre are separate bodies with their own criteria.
- No page mentions internationals, visas, permits or relocation, so its usefulness to a newcomer rests on the English language offer rather than on newcomer support.
