ABOUT FUSE ENSCHEDE

FUSE Enschede is the startup event of the Twente region where startups come into direct contact with the investors and decision-makers who matter to them. The event is curated: not broad, but focused. The right people in the right place so that ideas not only emerge but are also given the space to grow bigger. FUSE is an initiative of Novel-T, REACH and R-Factory (Münster) and builds on three successful editions of Enschede Slush’D.
