IT company Topicus wants to redevelop its offices opposite the railway station to make it an attractive place to work, learn, live and relax. The municipality has explored what is possible at this image-defining site on the edge of the city centre. Topicus and the municipality are now entering into discussions with local residents and other stakeholders.
Alderman Liesbeth Grijsen: ‘This development is in line with our ambitions for an economically strong Deventer. In the area near the station, we want to stimulate cooperation between knowledge companies and education. That way, we ensure that Deventer remains attractive for companies and young talent.’
Topicus Director, Henk Jan Knol remarked: "Topicus anticipates that the battle to attract and retain talented ICT employees will become much fiercer in the coming years. A location where our employees can work, learn, live and relax in the middle of society (in short, the Topicus campus), is therefore very strategic for us. Especially for young IT talent, the Topicus campus can be a clear and distinctive reason to choose Topicus. And this makes the Topicus campus crucial for the growth and future of Topicus.”
