In Noordwijk the Netherlands, a new Space Campus is arising. In the next coming years, new office buildings and facilities are being constructed. NL Space is home to ESA's technical heart, the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), the Galileo Reference Centre (GRC - EUSPA), SBIC Noordwijk and Space Expo.

With the development of this Campus, Noordwijk is the ideal location for those who wish to foster business growth and are keen to engage with space industry. The Campus is a unique environment where entrepreneurs, start-ups and scale-ups, education institutes, research organisations, governmental organisations and other (societal) stakeholders can come together and collaborate.

Space hub the Netherlands
The Netherlands is a high-tech country. They are world-renowned for their sensors and optical systems. Many European space missions would not exist without Dutch rocket technology and Dutch solar arrays. Also, the Dutch have a traditional expertise in water management, agriculture, environment and mobility, this DNA forms the basis for space in the Netherlands.

At ESA - ESTEC in Noordwijk new missions are designed and tested before they are launched into space. Thanks to the establishment of ESTEC, a whole 'space' network of companies has established itself in Noordwijk and the surrounding area.

Other great assets for Noordwijk are the Galileo Reference Centre (GRC), the place where data from the Galileo satellite system is received and ESA-SBIC, Europe's first centre for space start-ups. Also, 80% of the space activities in the Netherlands take place in South Holland.

Office space at the Campus
The NL Space Campus, which also includes ESTEC, GRC and SBIC as inseparable parts, is the meeting place and platform for the national and international space sector. It is the place where bright minds meet, share knowledge and inspire each other to innovate and bring space technology to a higher level.

In the coming years, two multifunctional buildings 'Gaia and Giotto' will be developed on the campus, offering office space for companies and start-up's new to the space sector within a creative and dynamic environment.

The buildings offer flexible layout and space plan, interior design, high-quality facilities like fibre high speed internet, building security, comfortable building installations and good parking facilities, also for e-cars and e-bikes.

The GAIA building with lettable area of 2.200 square meters will offer about 100 places to work. The GIOTTO building has a lettable area of 3.400 square meters and offers about 150 places to work.

The buildings are completely focused on having tech company's in-house.

Location
Noordwijk is easy to reach, it is located centrally in the 'Randstad' conurbation.

With multiple roads to the A44 highway it is easy accessible. The major cities of Amsterdam and Haarlem and Schiphol Airport can be reached within 30 to 40 minutes.

Business environment in the Netherlands
With more than 2200 high-tech professionals and 100+ PhD's, ESTEC at the NL Space Campus in Noordwijk is an international hotspot for space research and innovation.

The unique environment that the Campus offers, is of great benefit for companies needing direct access to European space programmes, avoiding additional administration, long procedures and delayed delivery times.
