NL Space Campus, the Dutch hub for international space industry

NL Space Campus is the meeting place for the (inter)national space sector, with ESA ESTEC and the Galileo Reference Centre (GRC) as inseparable anchor points. A central place for the space community where entrepreneurs, educational institutions, research organisations, government organisations and other (societal) stakeholders meet. Where cooperations are initiated and sharing knowledge is facilitated and stimulated, aimed at the application of space knowledge, data and technology.

The	place and breeding ground where innovations, start-ups and scale-ups can grow and where students, scientists and young professionals come together and collaborate. 

NL Space Campus stimulates and facilitates the exchange of knowledge between ESA ESTEC and GRC to the Dutch and international space ecosystems. 

In our vision, in addition to the physical location in Noordwijk (including ESA	ESTEC, SBIC, GRC, Space Expo and the high tech upstream and downstream companies already located in Noordwijk and in the close surrounding), Space Campus is also the (digital) platform and gateway to the Dutch space cluster and the European Space hub, together with the powerful space cluster around it.	

It is the ambition to make the Space Campus a hotspot for innovative space	related start-ups, scale-ups and established companies that use ESA and GRC driven services and that stimulate and facilitate the application of space technology and data, as well as cross-sector collaboration. An open innovation ecosystem in which different blood groups (entrepreneurs, education, research, government and environment) come together and in which organisations on campus are facilitated and stimulated to work together and apply and share knowledge, strengthen each other and accelerate growth. This is done in close cooperation with both national and international governments and interest	groups such as SpaceNed.
