In May 2023, during the labor market campaign Place to Be met Eduard van we spoke with Eduard van Pagée, Business Developer at Researchable, about his ambitious plans for the company. At that time, the data innovation agency, located at Campus Groningen, already had a versatile portfolio and a clear vision for the future.
Now, over a year and a half later, we reconnect with Eduard and his colleagues, and for good reason. Researchable has reached a new milestone. The company is relocating from its familiar location on the Zernike Campus to Plus Ultra Groningen, a brand-new and modern workspace in a state-of-the-art multi-tenant building known for fostering innovation and collaboration.
Researchable aims to expand into a team of approximately 40 driven professionals. This growth aligns with their core mission: developing data solutions that help organizations make better decisions and solve complex problems. The team collaborates with clients and partners on projects that improve processes, promote sustainability, support innovation in healthcare, and address societal challenges.
Over the past year, Researchable has made significant strides: the number of projects increased, their list of collaborative partners expanded with prominent names, and more full-time professionals were hired. Internal processes, such as HR policies, were also professionalized to support current employees and enable sustainable growth in the long term.
The growing team needed a workspace that matched their ambitions and way of working. Staying at Campus Groningen was a natural choice:
“Campus Groningen breathes innovation and collaboration. It offers exactly what we need: a vibrant community of companies, knowledge institutions, and researchers,” says Eduard van Pagée, Business Developer Researchable

With the move to Plus Ultra Groningen by Kadans Science Partner, Researchable literally and figuratively gains the space to grow further. The new location, offering approximately 200 m² of office space and facilities, provides an inspiring workspace that fosters physical collaboration with clients and partners.
“It’s fantastic to work side by side with our partners in an innovative environment among other forward-thinking companies like DNV and TNO,” says Eduard van Pagée, Business Developer.

The new office, completed in late December, not only lays a solid foundation for further growth but also enables partnerships to reach new heights. While limited space in the previous office often made in-person meetings with partners difficult, Plus Ultra now offers ample opportunities to host collaborative partners on-site. According to Researchable, in an increasingly digital world, this is a vital step to strengthen personal contact and collaboration. Campus Groningen congratulates Researchable on this milestone and looks forward to what the future holds for this promising company!

A much-loved tradition The Campus Trail has become a much-loved tradition on campus. Students, employees and professionals from companies and organisations across the campus ecosystem lace up their running shoes for a sporty 6.4-kilometre route through buildings and past some of the campus’s unique labs. The rapid growth in registrations shows just how much the Campus Trail has become part of the campus community. The combination of sport, meeting others and the unique campus setting makes the run a great opportunity to connect with people outside the usual work and study environment. And there’s no need to head home as soon as you cross the finish line. During the after-party, hosted by Contini Catering, participants can relax together, enjoy a drink and celebrate the afternoon. There’s still time to join: those who want to take part can register online until 3 September, or sign up on the day itself using the PIN Campus Trail 2026 | Campus Groningen.
ZonMw is expected to open the final call for proposals within the PharmaNL Shared Development Infrastructure (SDI) program line. This program line focuses on strengthening the infrastructure for the development, upscaling, and production of innovative medicines in the Netherlands.
