Challenges Radboud Sciene Park
The Science Park in Nijmegen is a place where educational institutions, research institutes and various scientific and technological companies come together. To make the most of this location, Radboud University is committed to developing a business community. The aim is to link the 55 established companies more closely together, stimulating knowledge sharing, cooperation and innovation.
Insights Radboud Sciene Park
This business community combines elements of a community of location and a community of practice. Because the companies are physically close to each other on the Science Park, the threshold for cooperation is low. In addition, Radboud University is just around the corner, providing direct access to students and research facilities. The companies also share a common interest in entrepreneurship and innovation, which further connects them.
Implementation Radboud Science Park
In 2025, we started developing this business community with Unity Agency. The first phase is crucial: starting the conversation with the target group. Through interviews and questionnaires, we identify the needs of the companies so that we can tailor the community and communication plan accordingly.
Next, the focus is on connecting with the target group. It is essential that companies and professionals get to know each other. Therefore, we organise a varied programme of events, ranging from informal networking meetings to substantive knowledge sessions. We encourage companies to share ideas, tackle challenges together and look for solutions together. We also help companies get in touch with Radboud University students and young professionals, offering new opportunities for cooperation and growth.
