Last week, Pivot Park proudly welcomed Kees Vendrik, chair of the Nationaal Klimaat Platform, as part of his inspiring visit to the business parks Vorstengrafdonk and Moleneind. The day was organized by Gemeente Oss, VNO-NCW Brabant Zeeland, and VNO-NCW Co-creatie and brought together local companies, policymakers, and partners to explore the future of sustainable business parks in Oss.
At Pivot Park, representatives from Gemeente Oss, Organon, Zwanenberg Food Group, Aspen API, Ardagh Metal Packaging, IBN, and Pivot Park itself came together for an open and valuable dialogue. The discussions focused on energy transition, circularity, and climate adaptation, key themes in creating future-proof business parks.
One of the highlights of the visit was the opportunity to share our joint sustainable vision: building a resilient and innovative Oss where economic growth and sustainability go hand in hand. The conversation sparked new ideas and possibilities for collaboration between companies and public partners.
The visit concluded with a shared sense of purpose and inspiration. At Pivot Park, we believe that innovation and sustainability reinforce each other, and we look forward to continuing this dialogue and working together towards a greener and more sustainable future.
