PLNT for students
Did you know that PLNT is the center for entrepreneurship and innovation in Leiden? Together with Leiden University, the City of Leiden, Hogeschool Leiden and mboRijnland, we help students turn their ideas into reality.
At PLNT, you will develop your entrepreneurial skills with practical tools and guidance. Whether you have a first idea or are already working on a startup, we will help you move forward. Our team supports you in your first steps as an entrepreneur, during and after your studies. In various startup programs and events, you will develop your idea into a company. Meanwhile, you will build a valuable network with other entrepreneurs, funds and investors.
You don’t need to have a business, just the drive to explore, create and grow. Whether you’re studying mbo, hbo or wo, and whether you’re from Leiden or The Hague: you’re welcome here.
