Vanderlande, Rooseveltlaan 1, 5466 AC Veghel
MNPX stands for Make Next Platform (MNP) Knowledge Exchange (X), an informal gathering of Accelerator companies and MNP Founders, where experiences, knowledge, and information are being exchanged in a confidential setting. MNP uses this gathering also as a Platform of the Dutch emerging OEMs (eOEMs) to develop joint public affairs initiatives when needed.
The Business Scale-Up Day is an event organized by MNP, bringing together scale-ups, founders, and technology partners to share knowledge and lessons learned.
The goal of the event is to inspire one another and accelerate growth by leveraging experience and shared insights. Whether scaling up as a project series or transitioning to series production, each path comes with its own specific do’s and don’ts, as well as strategic choices from both an organizational and manufacturing perspective.
