“We are doubling down on this momentum.” Meet the entrepreneurs of the ScaleNL East Coast Cohort. Ignazio Aleo is CEO of Moveshelf, the leading infrastructure for movement analysis. “I believe that measurement technologies and AI-assisted software will fundamentally transform healthcare.” “I founded Moveshelf to improve how clinical teams in hospitals use tech to deliver care for disorders that affect movement. We leverage cameras, wearables, and AI to support orthopedic and rehabilitation departments in making life-changing treatment decisions. Whether it’s a musculoskeletal or a neurological condition, we help medical doctors accurately and efficiently select the best possible treatment for every patient.” “To become the global standard digital platform for specialized care of movement disorders, succeeding in the US is essential. We’ve already seen strong traction with some of the most prestigious American centers, and we are now doubling down on this momentum. For us, the US isn't just a large market; it’s a strategic hub of world-class expertise that will help us scale and shape our solution to become the global leader in the field.” “Joining the program has delivered incredible value across the board. It helped us refine our strategy for our first US hire, so stay tuned for an exciting announcement on this. It also gave us access to a world-class ecosystem curated by ScaleNL and the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York over the years. We are confident this will be a solid foundation as we "land" in the US. And it quickly gave us a wealth of perspective on the US market and what it takes to scale a business there." After a 12-week training program, the ScaleNL Accelerator East Coast 2025 brought nine outstanding (deep)tech startups and scale-ups to New York to meet local investors, partners, and ecosystem leaders. The next edition on the West Coast is happening this spring.

Europe and New York’s tech worlds are colliding in the best possible way. On June 4th during a16z Tech Week, we’re taking over a full luxury space on Fifth Avenue for our second European Innovation Summit (following last year’s rooftop edition at Tribeca Film Festival 😉). A high-level moment built to strengthen one of the most important transatlantic relationships in tech, as Europe’s breakthrough innovations and deep technical talent meet New York’s scale, capital, and global velocity. International founders, VCs, corporates, and country partners will come together to connect and shape the future of tech and its international growth. Co-hosted by the European representations in NYC, and supported by NYC EDC and JPMorgan, the event will bring together a curated crowd including live founder showcases emceed by TechCrunch. New York has been Europe’s gateway into the US market and Europe has been a critical source of investment, talent, and frontier technology for New York’s innovation economy. This relationship has always powered growth on both sides of the Atlantic, and it’s only becoming more essential as AI and deep tech continue to shape global markets. This is where the transatlantic tech bridge gets real, right in the heart of NYC.
