Kadans Science Partner is the European leader investing in the development of ecosystems with a dedicated focus on the knowledge intensive sector. Kadans has invested across various specific areas, like food in Wageningen and life sciences in Leiden, and cell & gene therapy in Stevenage, UK. Kadans provides its tenants with an array of additional services tailored to their specific needs.
Kadans values connection, proximity, sustainability, and human scale. We want to promote innovation by connecting businesses and employees. Both planned and unexpected meetings are promoted. Creating a connecting ‘spine’ between all parts of the research cycle is the basis of our design philosophy.
In December 2020, Kadans was acquired by AXA IM Real Assets which has allowed us to significantly accelerate our growth. AXA is a long term capital partner.
