How do you ensure you keep working on your business rather than just in your business?

On Wednesday 26 August, Novel-T is organising the second edition of Scale-Up Day. An inspiring afternoon for entrepreneurs working on growth, innovation and the future of their (family) business.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

Inspiration from Sydney Brouwer: Plans are wonderful – until reality has other ideas. In an energetic keynote speech, Sydney will show why improvising, experimenting and taking action are often more valuable than endless planning.

Getting started with Gijs van de Molengraft: Inspiration is all well and good, but ultimately it’s all about taking action. During an interactive workshop, you’ll work with other entrepreneurs to identify the biggest opportunities and barriers within your business. You’ll leave with concrete insights, clear priorities and practical tools you can apply straight away.

Scale-Up Day also offers plenty of opportunities to meet other entrepreneurs, innovators and professionals from the region.

Scale-Up Day is one of the official side events of FUSE. This leading start-up and innovation event takes place on 27 August on the University of Twente campus. FUSE brings together entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and ecosystem partners to discuss entrepreneurship, technology and innovation.

Practical information:

• Wednesday 26 August 2026
