Wageningen: a cradle of innovation

Together with its partners, Wageningen is working to create a top business climate for educational institutions and companies: an ecosystem where different parties can find each other quickly and where pioneering innovations and sustainable technologies are created.

It is a carefully woven network with Wageningen University & Research at the heart of it all: intertwined with startups, SMEs, large national and international companies, and numerous research institutions. By sharing knowledge and coming together to advance or market it, new possibilities are explored, like reducing residual waste streams, producing more efficiently, and making vegetable proteins accessible to everyone. In order to maintain and reinforce Wageningen's strong position as a cradle of innovation, the municipality is working in a regional context with partners such as those in the Foodvalley region.
