infinitSpace to be new operating partner providing technology and operational infrastructure

The Stack, Amsterdam’s new home for AI founders and builders, has selected infinitSpace as its Workspace Operating Partner ahead of its opening in September. The partnership will provide the technology and operational infrastructure behind The Stack’s workspace, while The Stack’s team focuses on building its AI community, programme, and network.

Co-founded by Dutch AI entrepreneurs Lennard Zwart, Maarten Stolk, and Philip Gast, together with Techleap and seven Founding Partners, The Stack is being developed as a dedicated home for AI companies and builders. Constantijn van Oranje, Techleap’s Special Envoy, is closely involved in the initiative and is one of its initiators on behalf of Techleap.

The Stack aims to strengthen the Dutch and European AI ecosystem by bringing together AI companies, talent, capital, knowledge institutions, and corporate partners in one physical location. The Stack will have its soft opening in September 2026 at Jacob Bontiusplaats 9 in Amsterdam’s Oostenburg district, with the first phase comprising approximately 4,500 square metres of offices, shared workspaces, development areas, and a purpose-built event space. The site is planned to expand to approximately 12,000 square metres by 2029.

infinitSpace will provide the workspace technology, commercial operations, member experience, reporting, supplier coordination, hospitality standards, and day-to-day operational management behind The Stack. The partnership allows The Stack to retain ownership of its brand, strategic direction, community, and programme, while relying on a specialist operator for its workspace infrastructure.

“We are creating a physical home for the AI ecosystem in The Netherlands and Europe, and the experience of being here needs to be as thoughtful and ambitious as the companies we want to attract. infinitSpace brings the operational expertise and infrastructure that allows us to focus on what makes The Stack different: the highly curated community, the programme and the connections that help AI companies grow,” says Esther Bisschop, Founding Director of The Stack.

Wybo Wijnbergen, CEO and co-founder of infinitSpace, added:“The Stack is a strong example of the kind of specialist workspace concept our white-label approach is designed to support. It is much more than a workspace: it is building a platform for the AI ecosystem in Amsterdam. Our role is to provide the technology and operating infrastructure behind the scenes, allowing The Stack to focus on its mission, brand, and community. We are excited to be part of this initiative and to further strengthen our presence in Amsterdam.”

The Stack is The Netherlands’s new home for AI founders and builders, bringing together companies, talent, capital, knowledge institutions, and corporate partners across the AI ecosystem. Based at Jacob Bontiusplaats 9 in Oostenburg, The Stack provides workspace, community programming and connections to customers, partners, and capital.

The Stack was co-founded by Lennard Zwart, Maarten Stolk, Philip Gast and Techleap. Its Founding Partners are IMC, ABN AMRO, ClickHouse, Deloitte, Google, Miro, and Prosus, with support from the City of Amsterdam.

The Stack aims to strengthen Dutch and European AI by helping build the companies, intellectual property and talent that will shape the next generation of technology.

infinitSpace is building an AI-powered operating platform for commercial real estate. The company combines technology, data, AI agents and real-world operating capabilities to help property owners and strategic partners launch, commercialise, and operate workspaces under their own or infinitSpace’s brands. Founded by brothers Wybo and Wilco Wijnbergen, infinitSpace operates across several European markets.
