Objectives


TurboValley aims at forming a network of companies, research and educational institutes and people with a common interest and expertise: turbomachines. TurboValley forms a platform for sharing knowledge, experience and ideas. TurboValley creates visibility within society for an important sector of Dutch manufacturing industry.

TurboValley provides a high-tech environment, in which capabilities and knowledge of employees is further improved. In addition, within TurboValley precompetitive research projects will be executed. Furthermore, TurboValley provides a forum for selection of interns and employees (recent graduates).
