What is
BlueChem?
Helping growth companies develop sustainable innovations for the chemistry of the future. That is the aim of the BlueChem incubator, a unique partnership between industry, government and knowledge institutions.
BlueChem’s 5 strenghts
BlueChem offers an original mix of flexible workplaces, offices, meeting rooms and 15 laboratories for chemical research. Three labs are fully equipped and the others can be configured according to the specific needs of the tenants.
BlueChem is one of the first projects on the Blue Gate Antwerp sustainable business park. The incubator is located in the vicinity of Antwerp’s historic city centre and in the heart of Europe’s largest integrated chemistry cluster.
BlueChem works with exclusive partners to provide tenants the maximum support with the best expertise, for example, in the areas of business development, legal advice, personnel management, financial support, IP, etc.
The city of Antwerp offers incubator tenants financial support to furnish their laboratory through the BlueChem Kickstart Fund.
BlueChem operates within an ecosystem of open innovation with direct links to international chemical companies, all five Flemish universities and renowned research centres. CATALISTI, the spearhead cluster for chemistry and plastics, also plays an active role in BlueChem.
