Greenhill Campus

The Haasrode Research-Park business and research park in Heverlee (Leuven, Belgium) with a total area of 136 hectares (336 acres), accommodates dozens of high-technology businesses, employing over 5,000 people in total. International companies such as Siemens, Sony, Bosch, Takeda, JSR Micro, Nikon, NXP,... have important, often research oriented branches in Leuven. Next to these multinational companies, there are tens of innovative (KU Leuven) spin-off companies like Materialise, Easics, LAB Motion Systems, Soundtalks, Kobi, Octinion,... as the nearby presence of the internationally renowned KU Leuven university (Europe's most innovative University[1]) and UCLL generates a continuous flow of highly innovative companies. The park is located near the Brussels area and is very well connected to the airport. Divided in a research and science park and a business-production park, it houses an important variety of industries. Companies are attracted by the KU Leuven university, the international research centre Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre, and UZ Leuven, one of the largest academic hospitals in Europe.

Accessibility

The Haasrode Research-Park is located alongside the E40 highway (Brussels-Liège, exit 23). Moreover, very regular buses connect the science park to the city centre and the Leuven train station in particular, can be reached within 10-15 minutes. The park will soon be connected by a new (E-)bike highway-corridor linking Leuven to the city of Tienen.[2]
