Entrepreneurship at WUR
Bringing value to knowledge is the primary motivation for Wageningen students and WUR staff. WUR fosters and facilitates (potential) entrepreneurship in various ways. This is something we don’t do in isolation, but in collaboration with hands-on experts, businesses, investors and legal and financial advisors. Thus, together we add societal value to our expertise and technology.
