HELP DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF KENNISPARK TWENTE
VONK is the association for real estate owners and entrepreneurs at Kennispark Twente. They are committed to realizing our shared vision and actions. VONK represents the entrepreneurs and property owners from a formal cooperation with UT and municipality. They rightfully have a voice! VONK wants to become concrete, be transparent and make speed. This means that they and their supporters themselves ‘pick up the gauntlet’, do not wait to see what happens, but take that step forward themselves. And they can make good use of the energy and brainpower of all entrepreneurs and real estate owners in our science park. So join us!
