UtrechtInc has been recognized in the Financial Times “Europe’s Leading Startup Hubs 2026” ranking.

While we are proud of this recognition, the real stars of this story are the entrepreneurs, researchers, and students who walk through our doors every day.
Our alumni feedback was a core part of the FT’s evaluation, proving that the support we provide translates into real-world growth.
“This ranking is a testament to the hard work and impact of our founders. It validates their commitment to turning research and ideas into scalable businesses that solve societal challenges. Incubators like UtrechtInc reflect a broader European effort to turn the region into a magnet for talent and capital, leading the way in solving the world’s most complex challenges.” Stefan Braam, Startup Incubation Lead at UtrechtInc.
This ranking is a win for the entire Utrecht Science Park. It validates our shared mission with UU, HU, and UMCU to empower our researchers and students. Together we are building businesses that solve the most pressing challenges in Health, Sustainability, and Education.
