New name, new location: The Launch, for aspiring entrepreneurs

Since early January, Radboud University's incubator for entrepreneurship and innovation is no longer called Mercator Launch but The Launch. And from now on, you will also find The Launch in a new location: in the Forum building, on the corner of Geert Grooteplein and Heyendaalseweg.

At its new location, The Launch will become an even more recognisable starting point for anyone with an idea, question or ambition in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. The move will also strengthen ties with faculties, Radboudumc, HAN University of Applied Sciences and regional partners.

The Launch will continue to build on the solid foundation laid in recent years, while also focusing on

  • creating an even stronger community around entrepreneurship on campus;
  • further improving and deepening our programmes;
  • maintaining an open and accessible character, where everyone – students, researchers or staff – feels welcome to drop in with an idea or question.
