Avebe and RUG in talks on new Innovation Centre
Avebe and Groningen University are jointly looking into the possibility of housing the Avebe Innovation Centre at the Zernike Campus in the city of Groningen. This Innovation Centre accommodates all of Avebe's marketing and R&D facilities and is currently located in Veendam and Foxhol.
Avebe is planning to reinforce its innovative strength with a single Innovation Centre. This location will make it possible to combine internal knowledge in an inspiring setting and to develop knowledge with knowledge institutes. The focus will also be placed on partnership and contact with customers.
