Join us in building the innovation ecosystem of Ghent University's science parks

Gepubliceerd op November 26, 2025

Ghent University’s science parks - Tech Lane Ghent Science Park and Ostend Science Park - are thriving centers of innovation, where academic research meets entrepreneurial ambition.

These parks are open for business—actively welcoming companies eager to deploy R&D and collaborate with UGent’s leading scientists and technologists. 

Our science parks offer state-of-the-art deep tech research infrastructure, access to talent, and a collaborative environment designed to accelerate innovation. We provide softlanding services to international companies as well as researchers (and their partners) in setting up a subsidiary or relocating.

As alumni, you are uniquely positioned to help us expand this ecosystem. Whether you’re part of a company exploring new research avenues, or you know organizations seeking strategic partnerships, your network can unlock valuable leads. 

Your connection to UGent is a powerful asset. By introducing potential partners, sharing success stories, or simply spreading the word, you can play a pivotal role in shaping the university’s innovation landscape.

Together, we can bridge the gap between groundbreaking research and real-world application, fostering economic growth, societal progress, and a stronger UGent community. 

We invite you to be ambassadors of innovation. Help us connect with businesses ready to co-create the future, right here at UGent.
