The Den Bosch municipal council has approved the development plan for the Innovation Quarter Den Bosch (IKDB). Development combination AM/Coebax, the municipality of Den Bosch and the Bossche Investerings Maatschappij (BIM) can now take the next step in the further development of the area, which focuses on innovation in data, ICT and education and will contribute to growth as a vibrant area from the city center of ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

Data innovations focused on social themes

The IKDB is a unique place where new data innovations emerge and grow. These innovations focus on social themes such as health, technology, food and safety.

Bustling place

The Innovation Quarter Den Bosch is located in the heart of the broad city center, a dynamic environment characterized by development and transformation. The centrally located Innovation Quarter is one of five leading projects that will give Den Bosch a new face in the coming years. An important feature of the IKDB is the 'ecosystem' of students, companies and educational institutions. It is a vibrant place with functions and facilities that encourage meetings and strengthen collaboration.

Working, living, learning and living

The IKDB is an open area, with a strong connection with the city center, where people work together and meet each other. Of the 100,000 m² area, half is intended for offices, flexible workplaces and shared facilities. The other half is for residential, catering and small-scale retail. The area is easily accessible and very accessible, partly due to the mobility hub at the station.

Accessible rental properties

The housing supply in the IKDB consists exclusively of rental properties. The aim is for a minimum of 30% social rent, 40% medium-priced rent and a maximum of 30% private sector rent.
