Liberty Global plc (“Liberty Global”), the world’s largest international TV and broadband company, today announced a unique partnership with StartupDelta, the Dutch high-tech eco-system for innovation, to support Dutch startups at CES 2017.

Liberty Global, with its track record of investing in startups across the globe, will join StartUpDelta in promoting Dutch innovation at the Holland Startup Pavilion at CES 2017 from January 5-8.

The Pavilion is an initiative of StartupDelta, a public-private partnership headed by HRH Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands. StartupDelta manages a cluster of eight tech hubs across the Netherlands, in partnership with the national business community and the Dutch Government. The aim is to deliver a wide range of services designed to help grow businesses faster and more efficiently.

Some 30 Dutch high-tech startups will showcase their latest tech innovations at the Sands Expo’s Eureka Park during CES 2017, in cooperation with Liberty Global. The Holland Startup Pavilion is the third-largest contingent of national Pavilions at CES 2017 Eureka Park, and among the largest ever gathered there.

Mike Fries, CEO of Liberty Global, said, “New and innovative companies like those that will feature at the Pavilion are an important source of innovation and drive change for all industries. That’s why, in the past seven years alone, Liberty Global has invested more than $150 million in startups. We are delighted to be working together with StartupDelta at CES to promote high-tech innovation in the Netherlands.”

HRH Prince Constantijn said, “StartupDelta looks forward to collaborating with Liberty Global in its efforts to innovate through startups. Liberty’s investment in new innovators is a crucial contribution to the basis of the Dutch startup ecosystem.”
