At PLNT, we believe in the power of ideas to change the world. In the middle of Leiden, a city rich in history full of innovation, we are building to create a curious community of innovators and changemakers who challenge the status quo and are committed to leaving the world better than we found it. As startup incubator, we aim to provide an environment where new thinkers are inspired to develop\/imagine innovative ideas, while giving our existing community the tools and empowerment to realize bold concepts that have (global) impact. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
