BlueApp

Open innovation hub for sustainable chemistry in large city area

Integrated Project Management | Antwerp

Client: Universiteit Antwerpen
Location: Antwerp
Service: Integrated Project Management

In Antwerp, BlueApp is being constructed on behalf of Blue Gate Antwerp Building. The building is a pre-incubator for the University of Antwerp to accelerate the valorization of the UA’s knowledge and enables the growth of business and technology ideas in sustainable chemistry. BlueApp opened its doors on the eco-efficient business park Blue Gate Antwerp, the ideal location to develop the ecosystem around sustainable chemistry.

Sustainability expert Bopro took care of not only the guidance of the sustainability aspect, but also the Project Management and safety coordination of the project. The BlueApp building was already certified with an Excellent certificate during the design stage. During this project, Bopro was responsible for assignments ranging from determining the programme to providing scope for innovation and research. In this way, we contributed to the construction of a high-quality building that is flexible for the future.
