Creatieve Broedplaatsen Twente

In Twente, there is an abundance of creative ideas and entrepreneurial minds — and they are worth their weight in gold. Especially now that there is serious funding available to advance them!

 

A Creatieve Broedplaats is a place where talented creators and entrepreneurs meet. Where art, culture, and technology converge. Where there is room for creativity, experimentation, and innovation. And where cross-pollinations occur that lead to new concepts and surprising initiatives.

 

The first phase of the Creatieve Broedplaatsen Twente program started in September 2020. In November of that year, the first ten incubators were able to begin. In June 2021, the second phase followed, in which nine plans were approved. The third phase opened in January 2023 and resulted in another twelve approved plans.

Because 'Broedplaats' is a broad term, the fourteen municipalities in Twente have divided it into three variants. In all three, the connection between art, culture, and technology is central. 

 

The Creatieve Broedplaatsen in Twente are supported by a strong network of local governments, businesses, and educational institutions. Together, they provide the resources, funding, and knowledge necessary for these incubators to grow and thrive. Thanks to the collaboration between different sectors, a fertile ground for creativity and innovation emerges — a foundation on which successful projects and businesses can arise.
