Seven hundred ex-students started their own company in Arnhem and Nijmegen during the last few years.
These young entrepreneurs come from the HAN, the Radboud University and Artez. These educational organizations had a project four years ago, called Gelderland Manages, also known as GO! The goal of the project was to improve the interest in starting own business amongst students.
Thirty-thousand students were reached by GO! From all of them, seven hundred really started their own business. The majority of them is male (75 per cent) and their average age is between 20 and 25 years old. Most of them started their own outdoor sports business, design studio or research- and advice bureau.
