Fixeau Finds its Place in the Wageningen Campus Ecosystem
Fixeau emerged from a research project working with farmers and grew as a spin off from a consultancy company. In 2024 Fixeau opened their office on Wageningen Campus in Plus Ultra II and joined the Wageningen Campus Ecosystem. Fixeau was drawn to Wageningen Campus for its reputation in agri-food and technology. “We wanted to be where everything happens in agriculture and food innovation and Wageningen Campus provides a network full of like-minded companies” the team explains.
Fixeau was impressed by the intake process of Wageningen Campus. During this process, Fixeau needed to first deliver a pitch for admission. After that, they were invited to pitch their company during a lunch interview with other Wageningen Campus companies and the admission board. “This was a great way to introduce ourselves and get to know the others” the team shared. This process designed to ensure that incoming businesses align with the values and goals of the community, reassured Fixeau of the network’s quality and long-term vision. Entering Wageningen Campus means more than just renting an office space, Wageningen Campus has a reliable selection process and provides meaningful connections for companies.
Now with an office in Plus Ultra II in the startup corner, just steps away from StartHub and StartLife, Fixeau feels the energy of the Wageningen Campus ecosystem. With Fixeau still being in the phase of taking its product to market, they benefit immensely from being surrounded by like-minded innovators. Especially through the Wednesday Drinks that provides a great place to connect with other companies. “The Wednesday Drinks provides an inspiring and supportive atmosphere where success stories of scaling up and developing to sale are shared” shares Irthe Noordegraaf, Product and business developer at Fixeau.
With regular events happening around Wageningen Campus like the F&A Next summit, Campus Connect events, and the Wednesday Drinks, the environment provides invaluable opportunities to network, share knowledge, and draw inspiration from others. Beyond networking and feeling the community spirit, the Wageningen Campus has helped Fixeau connect with Career Services to find new interns and further the growth of their company. Since Fixeau has many farmers as clients, being based in Wageningen, renowned globally for food and agriculture, helps build trust and credibility for the company. As Fixeau continues to grow, their story on how they found their way to Wageningen Campus highlights that being apart of the Wageningen Campus Ecosystem is more than just an office space and connections but a thriving ecosystem where collaboration, innovation, and connection drive agri-tech forward.
