TAKING KNOWLEDGE FURTHER

Knowledge valorization is, along with education and research, the university's third core activity. Valorization means ensuring that knowledge which has been developed at the University of Twente is put to effective use, by translating it into economically productive activity, for example. Our student-run companies are the spin-off companies of tomorrow. As an entrepreneurial university, we believe it is extremely important to foster and support enterprise at all levels. Our entrepreneurial activities are housed mainly within the Kennispark Twente business park.
We also make use of new knowledge in other ways. We organize a wide range of activities for secondary school students, and our teachers and professors regularly make their voices heard in today's societal debates.
