Two years ago, COTIT joined the UpAlmere accelerator program in Almere, the Netherlands. As one of the finalists in the city’s Top Start-up Awards, we began our journey as an ambitious young company with a big vision: to make supply chains simple, transparent, and adaptable.
Being part of Almere’s vibrant business network gave us more than just a place to start — it gave us a community to grow with. From our base in the Green Innovation Hub, we’ve built meaningful partnerships, connected with other start-ups, and discovered the power of collective innovation.
This foundation opened doors to the wider Dutch start-up ecosystem and far beyond. Over the past years, we’ve had the privilege to showcase COTIT at some of the world’s leading technology events, including Slush, Web Summit, CES Las Vegas, VivaTech, and Smart City Expo Barcelona. Each event expanded our network, brought fresh inspiration, and reminded us how important it is to stay connected.
What began with COTIT as a start-up finalist has come full circle. Today, our CEO and founder Anthony Syams not only leads the company but also mentors other start-ups in Almere, sharing lessons learned from our journey.
For us, this is more than business. We believe in supporting others on their path, contributing to initiatives around us, and helping to build a powerful, collaborative community where innovation can thrive.
Partnerships have always been at the core of COTIT’s DNA. From local collaborations in Almere to global engagements on international stages, we’ve seen how strong ecosystems create lasting impact. Anthony’s participation in panel discussions and speaking sessions has further deepened our role as not only innovators but also ecosystem builders.
As we reflect on this journey, one thing is clear: we are just getting started. The adventure of partnerships, community, and collaboration continues. With strong roots in Almere and a global outlook, we remain committed to growing together — building solutions, sharing knowledge, and empowering businesses worldwide.
