Kennispark Twente (English: Knowledge Park Twente) is a business park in the city of Enschede, Netherlands, adjacent to the public research university, University of Twente.[1][2]

The primary goal of Kennispark Twente is supporting startups, industrial companies and creating a business climate for high tech businesses. The Kennispark Twente ecosystem comprises more than 400 companies and institutions, employing over 5000 innovation workers and entrepreneurs.[3]
