A community of changemakers.
At PLNT and unlock_, we believe in the power of ideas to change the world. In the middle of Leiden, a city rich in innovative history, we are building a curious community of innovators and changemakers that challenges the status quo and is committed to leaving the world better than we found it. As a startup incubator, we strive to provide an environment where new thinkers are inspired to develop/invent innovative ideas, while giving our existing community the tools and empowerment to realize bold concepts that have (global) impact.
“unlock_ at PLNT turned out to be a real catalyst for us. I’m not a networker,” Dmitry admits with a smile. “But unlock_ taught me that you get nowhere without a network.”
