Abstract
The economy of Limburg is changing. The predominantly industry based economy is transitioning
towards a knowledge based economy. In order to preserve employment and to gain a competitive
edge through this transition, the government of Limburg released the so called Versnellingsagenda’s.
These Versnellingsagenda’s did not only define the economic transition but also the institutional
transition that the government of Limburg had to make in order to cope with the changing demands
of the economy. The Chemelot campus was a project to help the regional economy transition
towards a knowledge based economy. This study is an exploratory study to understand the role of
the regional government in the development of the Chemelot campus in more detail. The main
research question can be formulated as following:
What is the role of the government of Limburg in stimulating the knowledge economy on the
Chemelot campus and to what extent has the founding of the Consortium Chemelot B.V. led to a
transformation of this role?
