Testing & Development

A prototype you want to build at full size, a setup you want to trial before it goes into a factory, a new food product you want to develop. At KAAP you find the space, the equipment and the people who know how to approach it. The halls and the kitchen are matched to your question: together we work out the setup, the period and the price.

At KAAP, via Fieldlab Zephyros

Testing on a real wind turbine

In and around the hall you find parts of a real wind turbine. These tests run via Fieldlab Zephyros; tell us what you want to test and we connect you directly.

Testing in the nacelle of a wind turbine

A real nacelle, permanently set up in the hall. Test your inspection, maintenance or measuring solution in the setting where it will have to work.

Good to know

Questions people ask before they call

Can anyone test here?

KAAP is for people working on water, food or energy, or on something that runs right through those themes, such as circular, biobased or digital. Not sure? Just ask. We tell you honestly, and point you elsewhere if that fits better.

What does it cost?

The meeting rooms have an hourly rate. The hall, the pilot factory and the test kitchen are tailor-made: you get a proposal based on what you need and for how long. Guide prices are shown when you reserve. Partners of KAAP use the spaces for free.

Can I come and have a look first?

Yes, please do. Plan a tour through the reception or walk in at Edisonweg 10. You only really understand this place once you are standing in the hall.

Want to test something here?

Walk me through what you are developing and we will see what fits: a hall, a lab, or equipment somewhere else in the ecosystem.
