0

In Enschede you will find the flagship innovation campus Kennispark. This innovation campus is home to over 380 innovative companies and as such it is the largest innovation campus in the Netherlands. The Dutch government also recognizes Kennispark as one of the most important innovation campuses for the Dutch economy.

Flagship building: The Gallery

The flagship building for Kennispark is the Gallery: home to the foundation, innovative companies, open innovation centers and many events about entrepreneurship and innovation. This impressive building is the largest Dutch incubator, with a length of 500 meters. The building is literally a bridge between the business park and the university campus as it is situated right in the middle. If you would like more information about the office space, laboratories and other options in the building, please contact Rob de Koning, director of Business Incubation Center BTC (+31 (0)53 483 63 55 )

Lane of Innovation

The main road between the cities of Enschede and Hengelo runs by the University of Twente and through the heart of Kennispark Twente. Because many of Twentes innovations have roots in this area, the road was named Lane of Innovation after the redevelopment of the road. The newly planted trees alongside the road were adopted by innovative companies in 2012.

Development plans

Because companies at Kennispark grow and because of the increasing interest of innovative companies in Kennispark, the Foundation Kennispark Twente has delivered a vision on the (re-)development of the innovation campus. The University of Twente and the city of Enschede have partnered up to make sure the area becomes and stays a state of the art innovation campus and have initiated several (re-)development projects, including an upgrade of the area surrounding the train station in the area and the creation of the Lane of Innovation. Construction work started in november 2010, according to the masterplan.

You can find updated information about construction projects on the website of the City of Enschede (in Dutch).  The full masterplan (vision of the redesign of the parc) can be found here: Masterplan Redevelopment Kennispark (Dutch).
