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.”

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.”

to promote this first group of leading edge tech innovators from
The Netherlands on the world’s largest CE trade show.”
