One prime location, two inspiring buildings: discover Incubator Darwin and the Isala building
Looking for a quiet, green spot for your next meeting, training, or corporate event? The University of Antwerp Science Park in Niel is the place to be. Strategically located on the Antwerp-Brussels axis, just a stone's throw from the A12 and E19, and with ample parking right outside the door. The site is home to more than 40 promising startups, growth companies, and large corporations active in the Health & Environment sector. But you can also come here for your own professional event.
The park consists of two complementary buildings, each with its own atmosphere and strengths: Incubator Darwin, the inspiring home base for startups with views of water and greenery, and the Isala building, completed in 2023, the ideal place for growth companies and large corporations. Together, they offer 10 meeting and event spaces for small and large groups, suitable for 2 to 150 people.
