5 crucial lessons learned from 2 years of building TNW’s tech hub

Two years ago, we opened the doors to TQ — TNW’s first tech hub in the center of Amsterdam.

In fact, looking back, it’s almost weird we didn’t start TQ sooner. Our media platform was enabling us to reach a lot of people around the world in a short period of time. Our main conference gave us face-to-face contact with a concentrated group of people…
