Entrepreneurial stories
Tilburg is the city of its makers. The movers and the shakers. A city that can help your business flourish. But that doesn't happen by itself. Guts are needed to create a commotion. Standing out requires creativity. Not everyone manages to turn the world upside down. Some stand out. Putting rusty ideas in a new light. Stick out their heads above the ground. Making an impact. We are proud of these entrepreneurs and tell their story here.
