On Thursday, September 25 2025, the Startup in Residence Intergov programme hosts its 10th edition of Demo Day at the Provinciehuis Zuid-Holland in The Hague. For six months, startups worked closely with public organisations to design and test solutions for real challenges. Now they will share their results on stage through pitches, stories, and new collaborations.

What’s it about?

Demo Day marks the conclusion of the Startup in Residence Intergov programme. Startups and governments spent half a year co-creating solutions to pressing issues such as energy poverty, youth well-being, the circular economy, and digital safety. During this event, the startups step forward to present their outcomes. The atmosphere is always inspiring: expect lively pitches, meaningful conversations, and opportunities to connect innovation with government action.
