Opening Van Leeuwenhoek Laboratory on 4 November 2009
Not fancy, but a huge revolution! TNO and TU Delft are proud of the new Van Leeuwenhoek Laboratory (VLL). This high-tech complex packed with advanced research facilities is certainly an asset, especially for businesses (SMEs) and researchers working in the field of micro and nanotechnology. It strengthens the position of Delft as the beating heart of activities in the field of nanotechnology in the Netherlands. However, its impact will extend beyond Netherlands: this super-modern facility will even attract much attention worldwide. The VLL of TNO and TU Delft is a key feature on the Dutch frontier of nanotechnology innovation.
