The Plaspoelpolder R&D Park is the oldest and largest business park which developed and operated by the Industries ‘The Plaspoelpolder’. The Plaspoelpolder R&D Park was largely developed in the 60s. Now it is the leading jobsite in the region. Initially, the industry has the upper hand, nowadays there are more offices. The business services sector is strongly represented. In the area are relatively large internationally oriented companies established. This is partly due to the attractive R&D climate: well trained staff from the region, excellent transport connections and good public transport (train, bus and tram). The Plaspoelpolder R&D Park accommodates organizations such as the European Patent Office, ANP, CBR, Rijkswaterstaat, Shell, Alcatel and Mn Services. etc.

Because the Plaspoelpolder R&D Park has already in use over 40 years, parts of it need transition. Under the direction of the Industries parts of R&D Park revitalized, the municipality of Rijswijk plays as an important role in the transition. The revitalization has room for both offices and businesses, particularly SMEs.
