Relatively speaking, Twente has the country’s highest proportion of university spin-offs and scale-ups, many of which have originated at the University of Twente and Saxion University of Applied Sciences.

Smart ideas and solutions that are devised in Twente have every opportunity to be extensively tested and further developed here as the basis for successful commercialisation. 

The local down-to-earth approach combined with the region’s strength as an experimentation hub creates worldwide impact!
