Carry Abbenhues, the province of Overijssel’s deputee for economy, toursism and employment, formally opened The Corridor on March 25. She unveiled the 3d animation film of “The Gallery” the future home of the Corridor’s and many other inhabitants. An ‘open house’ followed the formal opening. Quite a few neighbouring entrepreneurs from the Business & Science Park Enschede accepted the invitation to get to know the Corridor and its inhabitants. But I also saw colleagues from the Unversity of Twente, and many new faces who came to take a look.

VentureLab’s founding father, professor Aard Groen, presented the VentureLab Twente programme to a large audience in the Corrridor’s conference hall. Six VentureLab entrepreneurs gave a pitch, among them Maria Lijding (Smart Signs), Piere Wolters (WitWorks) and aviator Ben Capelle (Clean Tech Development Center), shown in the picture gallery. For more pictures have a look at the website of Kennispark Twente, one of the other organisations housed in The Corridor.
