BTC-Twente as incubator

BTC-Twente: an incubator for innovative technological companies.

As an incubator for the University of Twente and Saxion Universities (both shareholders of BTC-Twente) BTC-Twente has been active for over 25 years. And with success!

Many entrepreneurs have established their business in the BTC building over the last 25 years. Over 80% of these entrepreneurs have survived the usually difficult starting period, and many of them have seen their business grow into a large company.

The actual “incubation” usually takes place at one of the Universities. But after that, the starting entrepreneur has to find suitable accommodation. BTC-Twente can provide just that. But not only accommodation and facilities but also the necessary business support.

Besides her own expertise BTC-Twente has a large network of experts that can be of use for every entrepreneur. Coaching, training and consulting are only a few examples of the opportunities for the BTC tenants.

BTC-Twente does not only claim to be a business incubator but also a meeting point for high-quality entrepreneurships.

For and with entrepreneurs among others:

·

Every first Friday of the month: BTC café
Some are preceded by an interesting lecture of presentation

·

The quarterly edition of the BTC Courant provides the tenants and other interested with information on current topics about BTC-Twente and its tenants.

·

BTC-Twente is well-known for being a meeting point for entrepreneurs. Not only tenants but also for others who frequently visit BTC-Twente often meet, not only during lunch but also in other public areas. This kind of networking often results in cooperation between entrepreneurs.

·

In cooperation with other organisations (e.g. the Chamber of Commerce, Syntens, KIVI/NIRIA, TKT, B&S-park, Faculty Club UT) several kinds of meetings with a special theme or topic take place.

NENSI-2

BTC-Twente often participaties in projects, aiming to provide more facilities for the tenants and/or to grow even bigger as a business incubator.

For instance, since 2006 BTC-Twente participates with the interregional project, (under the auspices of ROC-Twente): (N)orth (E)uropean (N)etwork for (S)ervice (I)ncubators.
