When it comes to high-end production, Blue Gate Antwerp plans to attract innovative businesses that offer great added value. Eco-effectiveness must be their guiding principle, and economic growth and ecological added value must go hand in hand. These businesses will be active in the green or blue economy and must implement the principles on which our future economy will be built. Potential target businesses are innovative and specialise in high-end eco-effective production activities. This means that both their material cycle and energy cycle must be closed cycles.

Blue Gate Antwerp wants to attract businesses that focus on high-end niche production and innovative specialisations. These businesses further distinguish themselves by striving for intensive use of space, cultivating a positive public image when it comes to town planning and public space planning, conducting sustainable and innovative business operations, and mitigating or reducing the negative external impact of their operations, such as the impact on traffic infrastructure, the impact on the environment, and noise and odour pollution.

In addition to production businesses, Blue Gate Antwerp invites research & development centres (R&D) to establish a facility at the site, with priority given to those with a sustainable and innovative character. Blue Gate Antwerp targets itself to R&D centres linked to universities, private and public sector unions, and government bodies, as well as to R&D departments of private production businesses.
