Vaanster joins forces for transformational campus development

SDK Vastgoed and Vaanster have forged a strategic partnership through a recently signed letter of intent to develop the Mechatronics Innovation Campus Schiedam (MICS). This visionary project will transform the region into the epicenter of the mechatronics industry, spanning approximately 80,000 m² of cutting-edge office and industrial facilities. Such an ambitious undertaking requires intelligent energy infrastructure.

A sprawling 42-hectare industrial site is being reimagined as a dynamic, sustainable campus where industry leaders, research institutions, and innovators across generations will converge to learn, collaborate, and pioneer breakthrough technologies. MICS aspires to become the global epicenter for mechatronics innovation. Following a comprehensive evaluation led by Witteveen + Bos, SDK Vastgoed has entrusted Vaanster with designing, implementing, and operating an advanced geothermal energy system that will power the entire development for years to come.

This transformational project anchors Schiedam Municipality's broader SchieDistrict regeneration initiative. The result transcends traditional industrial development: it's a thriving innovation ecosystem where private enterprise, academia, government, and the public unite to shape tomorrow's technological landscape. The campus will magnetize forward-thinking companies dedicated to mechatronics excellence and sustainable business practices.
