MICS in Vakblad BT: focus as the foundation for success

MICS is once again in the spotlight. In Vakblad BT, the campus is highlighted as a distinctive area development, with one key element at its core: focus. Not a copy of existing campuses, but a deliberate choice for a unique mechatronics profile, with attention to what is already there and a clear vision for the future.

The strength of collaboration

What makes the article stand out is the clear description of the collaboration between SDK Vastgoed and the Municipality of Schiedam. Public leadership and private development come together in a model where both perspectives reinforce one another. Two different roles, with one shared ambition: to develop a future-proof campus.

A strategic location with potential

Situated between Delft and Rotterdam, MICS is positioned within a region where knowledge is created and scaled. Research by Erasmus University confirms the strength of this corridor. Schiedam sits right at its centre: well connected and offering ample space for new developments.

This position has not gone unnoticed. As Doekle Terpstra, strategic explorer for MICS, states: “This region holds gold.”

With a strong local labour pool and a growing cluster of companies, MICS provides a solid foundation for continued development.

From development to ecosystem

MICS is evolving into more than a traditional campus. It is becoming a place where businesses, education and government actively collaborate on innovation in mechatronics. A clear principle applies: organisations that establish themselves here contribute to the development of the whole.

Through the campus cooperative, users retain influence over the campus’s direction. This creates a dynamic ecosystem in which collaboration and shared growth are central.

Building a mechatronics hub

Within the broader SchieDistrict development, MICS is emerging as a powerful hub for advanced manufacturing. A place where craftsmanship and high-tech innovation come together, and where there is room for talent, entrepreneurship and growth.
