Innovation Campus

Kennispark Twente is one of the top three innovation campuses in the Netherlands – with reason. Intensive collaboration between knowledge institutions, research institutes and entrepreneurs make this campus the most entrepreneurial in Europe. For this reason and many more, Kennispark is an attractive business location. Continue reading below.

 

 

Easily reachable
Kennispark Twente is centrally located in the Dutch-German Euregion and halfway the Amsterdam-Berlin route. Kennispark can be reached by car within ten minutes from the A35 highway (exit Enschede-West), but is also easily accessible by train, water and air. Its green environment characterises the innovation campus. For both stakeholders and the Kennispark-based companies, the area is an attractive and easily accessible location for doing business.

Space for new developments
Thanks to the presence of the University of Twente and the focus on high-tech companies, there is ample room for new developments at Kennispark Twente, one of the most important innovation campuses in the Netherlands. The campus hosts creative communities that develop science into business. An overview of all startups in Enschede can be found here!

Facilities
Kennispark Twente offers even more than the unique mix of talent, knowledge and entrepreneurship. Among other things, leisure activities at Go Planet, a nearby hotel, catering, Enschede as a residential and shopping city, the FC Twente football stadium and ample sports opportunities. The combination of all these factors and good accessibility by car, train, bus and bicycle make business and study at Kennispark comfortable

Strengthen position
Kennispark has the ambition to strengthen its position as the main supplier of high-tech startups and therefore invests in the programming of entrepreneurship education, incubators and accelerator programs. A dynamic, physical space where meetings between talent and companies are facilitated goes along with these ambitions. We are transforming the area into a prime location where it is attractive to live and work for both (international) talent and companies. Our goal is to expand and become the go-to innovative breeding ground where research institutes, startups and high-tech businesses form the ‘where science becomes business’ ecosystem. Want to join? We are happy to tell you more!
