Delft, creating history
Economic and innovation growth in the city of Delft.
Delft represents a unique economic ecosystem, a city that breathes innovation and technology. Delft is very dynamical because of the 25,000 students that study here and institutes like the Technical University Delft and TNO and a large number of innovative companies.
Furthermore, a lot these companies are often active in fields that really matter for society, like food, security and sustainability. That’s something to be proud of. The city of Delft promotes and supports industries, like biotechnology, that contribute to the high-tech identity of Delft.
The city of Delft welcomes new companies in the field of biotechnology and provides a soft landing. With supporting platforms such as Planet B.io, they can connect with these young biotech companies and provide the right business climate to help them grow.
