Since then, Bio-Versneller offers approximately 18,000 m² of offices, laboratories, meeting rooms and related services on the Ardoyen science campus in Zwijnaarde, Belgium.

We are delighted that TINC as an active investor has contributed to the growth of the biotechnology cluster and the embedment of the related employment around Ghent." - Manu Vandenbulcke, CEO TINC.
