The OnePlanet innovation center offers an ideal opportunity for international tech companies active in these research themes to develop and validate new solutions targeting worldwide challenges of the future. The imec research center business models have a longstanding track record in targeted research industry cooperation in several parts of the world.

OnePlanet will start with a focus on four program lines:
1. Data driven nutrition & health
2. Precision production & processing
3. Citizen empowerment
4. Tailored supply chains

Based on these new developments the campus organizations of Wageningen and Nijmegen are opening new facilities for business, such as the Plus Ultra II building in Wageningen. In Nijmegen the Novio Tech Campus is expanding its facilities for businesses in health & high-tech.

OnePlanet will be located in Plus Ultra II and on the Novio Tech Campus.
