StartHub & WUR
StartHub is part of Wageningen University & Research and operates under the pillar of Corporate Value Creation.
Research results only have an effect when they are applied within society. StartHub stimulates this by stimulating entrepreneurial skills development amongst students, the researchers of the future, and by supporting sustainable entrepreneurs pursuing a venture within the WUR domain using either knowledge or a technology generated at WUR. We can only do this by closely collaborating with many parties!
