Eighty years ago, people in Geleen embarked on a great journey of materials science and innovation. A unique ecosystem was established, which is known today as Brightlands Chemelot Campus. DSM started the journey in 1940 with the foundation of a Central Laboratory, and today, the campus has grown into a breeding ground for different organizations. The state-of-the-art innovations brought to life at the campus are life-changing and have an impact that goes way beyond Geleen.
