the foundation with a direction
Techport is not a talk club, but a movement. From the Techport Innovation Centre in IJmuiden, we work every day with courage and energy on the future of the industry. Together with companies, schools, governments, and knowledge institutions, we are working towards one mission: the first green industrial zone in the Netherlands.
Techport is a public/private partnership with a core team of permanent and freelance specialists, supplemented by project managers and support staff. Our supporting partners, the municipalities of Velsen, Beverwijk and Heemskerk, the ROC Nova College and Tata Steel, provide the basic funding.
we are doing this for our grandchildren.
not for our ego.
Ideas do not become impact without people making them happen
Behind every innovation, collaboration or event is a team that makes it happen. The Techport Team consists of a mix of programme makers, project leaders, specialists and supporters - all with the same drive: turning ideas into action.
We are curious, energetic and sometimes - OK, often - a tad stubborn, but always focused on results. Whether connecting companies, mentoring students or realising ground-breaking projects, our team makes sure every day that plans do not get stuck, but become reality.
