Amsterdam’s newest science and tech startup hub

 

Available office space
A range of office spaces is available at HoQ Amsterdam, with sizes, lease terms, availability and costs varying by unit. Service charges, utilities and community fees may also differ between spaces.

Eligibility and selection
Available office spaces are dedicated to organisations active in quantum technology or those demonstrably making a direct contribution to the quantum ecosystem.

Assessment criteria
Applications will be assessed on the following:

  • the organisation’s focus and its clear connection to quantum technology or the broader quantum ecosystem.
  • how the applicant plans to utilise the office space (intended use).
  • the required space, preferred start date and proposed lease term.
  • a willingness to actively particpate in knowledge sharing and collaboration within the HoQ Amsterdam quantum community.

An organisation’s potential contribution to the community is considered to ensure a good fit for HoQ Amsterdam, however, it will not be used to rank otherwise eligible applicants.

Allocation policy
Office space is allocated subject to availability. Where multiple organisations meet the eligibility criteria for the same unit, allocation operates on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by the exact date and time a complete application is received. Only complete applications submitted after the publication of this call will be considered. If the order of receipt cannot be reliably verified, or if multiple complete applications arrive simultaneously, the space may be allocated via a random draw.

How to apply
Organisations may express interest at any time, subject to space availability.

Applications are only considered complete once all information below is provided. The official time of receipt will be the exact e-mail timestamp of the fully completed submission. To apply, contact Amal Whyte amal.whyte@cwi.nl , Community & Event Manager, with a brief description of:

  • Name, legal form and contact info
  • Organisation type (e.g. startup, scale-up, research institution) and development stage
  • Office size, preferred start date and lease term
  • Planned activities within the workspace
  • Links to quantum technology or the broader ecosystem
  • Planned engagement with the HoQ Amsterdam community

Governance & conditions
The University of Amsterdam (UvA) manages assessments, allocations and lease agreements. Amal Whyte acts as the primary contact.
Submitting an application does not guarantee a lease. Any offer remains strictly subject to unit availability, meeting the eligibility criteria, securing UvA internal approvals, and final agreement on lease terms.
