Where technology innovation creates business
Strategic Position
The Science Port Holland Region is located in the Delft- Rotterdam area. This area has great development potential and is equipped with a highly efficient communication and physical infrastructure.
The city of Rotterdam enjoys a worldwide reputation as one of the most efficient industrial port clusters and is aiming for a leading position in Sustainable Energy and Climate Protection, Life Sciences and Creative Industry.
The city of Delft's policy is strongly focused on reinforcing its international reputation as a 'Centre of Technology' and improving the investment climate for High Tech companies.
Drs. W.M. A. Trommels, former Managing Director of Science Port Holland: "Science Port Holland has a strong strategic position, based on a high concentration of R&D activities, attractive landscaping and excellent accessibility."
Scientific Centre of Excellence
The regional policy for attracting knowledge intensive institutions and High Tech companies focuses on the metropolitan area comprising The Hague, Delft and Rotterdam. The zone's specific geographical position is based on the location of Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University, which is already home to many international scientific and research activities.
Both universities have selected specific research initiatives to form the basis for their technological innovation in the coming years. Existing international partnerships with other renowned universities, scientific institutions and High Tech companies in Europe, North America and Asia are essential and will be consolidated and expanded.
