INNOVATE, DEVELOP, AND PIONEER

Technology Base is the place where innovation and progress come together. On this vast 220-hectare site, visionary entrepreneurs and innovative thinkers join forces to shape the future. Here, you can dream and do—it’s a dynamic testing ground where companies can innovate, develop, test, train, and experiment. With plenty of space to work on both manned and unmanned aviation, as well as sustainable aviation, safety & security, autonomous systems, and advanced materials & manufacturing, it’s an inspiring environment for groundbreaking innovation in a world that never stands still.

Within this secure environment, accessible only through a controlled entrance, safety comes first. Companies have the freedom to experiment without restrictions—whether it’s testing technology under extreme conditions or perfecting unmanned systems.

Technology Base offers unique infrastructure, including Twente Airport’s very own runway. This provides direct access to Europe and the rest of the world. The available space and relatively quiet airspace make it the ultimate test location for companies developing new aviation technologies. It’s also a one-of-a-kind business location for companies focusing on airport-related activities.
