Temporary Entrepreneurial Positions (TOP)

The University of Twente characterises itself as an entrepreneurial university. This is reflected by its close ties with industry and by the special connections with high-tech start-up companies, many of which have set up shop at the Business and Science Park bordering the University of Twente campus. In the past ten years, more than 500 high-tech companies have been set up in the Twente region, employing over 5,000 staff members.
