CV Jacques van Dinteren

Em. prof. dr. Jacques van Dinteren is founder and president of the Innovation Area Development Partnership IADP. He is also the owner of Zjak Consult, a spatial-economic consultancy firm.

Introduction

My specialisation lies in spatial economic developments and planning. I analyse and advise on different types of work locations and multifunctional areas, and carry out market research for the (re)development of cities and parts thereof. I also focus on specific themes such as regional economic development strategies and the spatial consequences of new ways of working.

In recent years, I have focused on so-called innovation areas: science parks, innovation districts and industrial innovation areas. With Paul Jansen, I am the Founding Partner of IADP: the Innovation Area Development Partnership. In this partnership, consultancies and management of innovation areas work together. IADP is a member of IASP, the International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation.

I work or have worked on projects in the Netherlands, Curaçao, Belgium, France, Germany, Russia, Nigeria, Iran, Cameroon, Mauritius, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

I enjoy writing about research results in professional journals. A selection of my articles can be downloaded at Researchgate.net and SlideShare.com.
