Collaboration Flora Campus Westland sets the scene for entrepreneurs, researchers, and students from the Netherlands and beyond. Talent, business, knowledge institutes and educational institutions come together here to work on digitalisation, robotisation and AI (artificial intelligence) and their application in the advanced horticultural sector. Thanks to this innovative mindset, the campus is a business-driven campus with room for start-ups, scale-ups but also established companies, with the focus on knowledge rather than (bulk) production or agrologistics. Flora Campus Westland will be strengthened by both the Hortus Lab focusing on combining health and greenhouse horticulture as well as a new field lab for research on crop development, AI and digitalisation in the Greenhouse of the Future. Horti Campus Westland will thus be complementary to the Greenport campuses in Bleiswijk and Barendrecht. Furthermore, collaboration with research universities and universities of applied sciences will be actively pursued, as is already the case with LDE (LeidenDelft-Erasmus collaboration). Flora Campus Westland aims to encourage young people to fulfil their potential in Westland, each at their own level. Making a continuous learning trajectory visible should be conducive to this ambition, from secondary vocational education to higher vocational education and university education, with horti-tech and horti-health as central themes. This will also be physically visible, as all forms of education will have their own space. And for secondary vocational education, the new ISW Westland Vakcollege+ will be built in the project area. 18 Masterplan Flora Campus Westland
