Abstract
The Twente region has a well founded international reputation for innovation and entrepreneurialism. There are a number of innovative initiatives that contribute to this reputation. The region’s higher education institutions are at the forefront of stimulating and partnering in the good practice initiatives. Still, as a region Twente lags behind national performance aggregates in a number of areas. The OECD Peer Review Team believes that much can be achieved in Twente with its entrepreneurialism and innovation agenda by enhancing the endogenous human capital potential of the region through focussed and collaborative action by higher education institutions
