What The Hague Tech does

The Hague Tech operates a coworking space and event venue in The Hague, Netherlands, serving startups, scale-ups, freelancers, government entities, and corporates. Founded as a tech community hub and now anchored in The Hague's Central Innovation District, the organization provides flexible desks, dedicated workstations, and private offices with 24/7 access, Wi-Fi, and meeting room perks, alongside a congress centre that accommodates up to 350 guests across more than 10 breakout rooms. Beyond physical space, the operator runs four recurring programs: TechFest (annual flagship festival), Hackathon for Good (annual AI-for-good series reaching its 8th edition in November 2026, with 1000+ hackers and 100+ partners since 2018), GovTech NL (co-developed with DigiCampus), and the AI Café workshop series. There is no proprietary technology product; THT is a physical innovation enabler whose value proposition is community access and convening rather than software.

Revenue mechanics rest on three pillars: recurring coworking memberships across multiple tiers (student, hot desk, dedicated desk, shared office, private office), one-time event venue rentals (meeting rooms, congress hall, hackathon facilities with AV and catering), and program partnerships where corporate challenge providers and sponsors fund Hackathon for Good and GovTech NL. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; bookings are routed through an online portal and a sales team. The go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven: signature programming and member referral drive acquisition, supported by LinkedIn, Instagram, an email newsletter, and a blog. Distribution is regional (Western Europe / Netherlands) with a hybrid mix of self-serve online booking and direct enterprise sales via the business development team for government and corporate accounts.

In June 2025, The Hague Tech completed a significant physical relocation from the former Ministry of Social Affairs building on Laan van NOI to Waldorpstraat 5, directly adjacent to Holland Spoor station. The new flagship facility expanded usable capacity, added a purpose-built congress centre, and aligned the operation with the Municipality of The Hague's Central Innovation District strategy. Reported headcount is 1-10 employees led by Managing Director Edwin Beeker and Co-Founder Olga Wielders, indicating a small operational core running a relatively capital-intensive infrastructure business.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Station F: World's largest startup campus in Paris, combining massive event/hackathon infrastructure with workspace and corporate programs. Useful comparable for THT's ambition to scale event + programming + community at the new congress centre.
• The Social Hub (formerly The Student Hotel): Hybrid hospitality-coworking-event operator across Europe with large venues, F&B and meeting facilities. Competes for the same corporate event and meeting-room bookings and operates comparable large-format event spaces, including in The Hague area.
• Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC): US-founded innovation campus operator running large mixed-use coworking + lab + event venues globally. Comparable through its scaled model of combining event spaces, coworking and public-private programming.
• Spaces (IWG / Regus): Global flexible-office brand under IWG, with multiple Dutch locations including The Hague. Sets the pricing benchmark and supply baseline for THT's coworking and private office product.

Direct peers

• Impact Hub Amsterdam: Amsterdam-based coworking and innovation community with a mission-driven, partnership-driven model. Comparable to THT in combining coworking, programming and a community-of-startups angle, but operating in Amsterdam rather than The Hague.
• Mindspace: Premium flexible workspace provider with multiple European locations including Amsterdam, offering coworking, private offices and event spaces. Direct competitor for the workspace and event-hire revenue streams THT depends on.
• B. Amsterdam: Large innovation hub and coworking campus in Amsterdam offering flexible workspaces, event venues and programming for startups and corporates. Most direct Dutch analogue to THT's combined coworking + event + community platform.
• YES!Delft: Dutch startup incubator and tech hub affiliated with TU Delft, offering workspace, programming and community for tech founders. Comparable mission (tech startup enablement) but heavier on accelerator/IP model than coworking.

Regional players

• HighFive Innovations / High Five Tech Hubs: Other Dutch regional innovation hubs and coworking operators relevant to the THT model. Less specific to The Hague but representative of the regional competition THT faces in the Netherlands.
• Tribe (The Hague area / regional flexible offices): Flexible office operator active in the Netherlands offering coworking, private offices and meeting rooms, including The Hague area locations. Direct regional competitor for THT's coworking and event bookings.
