The Business & Science Park
A dynamic and balanced mix of business service companies, semi-governmental agencies, and knowledge intensive, innovative companies, all stimulated by the ultimate catalyst, the University of Twente. This is the Business & Science Park in Enschede, the Netherlands.
A melting pot of innovative activities where "science" as well as "business" profit from each other, technologically as well as commercially. The successful BSP formula can be seen as resulting from a unique location, outstanding facilities, an intensive and active knowledge exchange, and an atmosphere that encourages mutual beneficial cooperation. The technical University of Twente (UT) plays an active role in the park through an intense cooperation with science companies, including facility and laboratory sharing and exchanges of personnel. The combination of university study, high tech knowledge-based industry, and business services generates both ideas and jobs and has proven to be a very strong magnet for like-minded companies and investors.
