Impuls Zeeland

What they do

Impuls Zeeland is the official Regional Development Company (ROM) for the province of Zeeland. It operates as a bridge between government policy and the private sector, with shareholders including the Province of Zeeland and various municipalities. Its mandate is threefold: Innovate, Invest, and Internationalize. Unlike a pure VC, Impuls Zeeland has a dual goal of financial return and regional economic impact. They manage several distinct funds tailored to different stages of company growth, from pre-seed loans to multi-million euro equity tickets.

What they look for

Impuls Zeeland invests to strengthen the Zeeland economy, focusing on companies that contribute to major transitions: Energy Transition, Food Transition, Circular Economy, and Water/Delta Technology. They look for innovative and growth-oriented entrepreneurs whose activities will have a substantial impact on the regional economy and employment. Key criteria include a regional link to Zeeland, technological or process innovation, and a contribution to societal goals.
