Located within FiftyTwoDegrees, a statement black 18-storey tower with a 'kink' that bends the top over at an angle, the centre gives businesses an unbeatable business address in the eastern Netherlands. FiftyTwoDegrees was designed as a unique business, cultural and social hub and it combines a high concentration of knowledge-based businesses with well thought-out meeting areas focused on a central plaza. Nijmegen is in 'Health Valley', where a cluster of public and private sector organisations are working together to foster developments in health and technology. Large businesses nearby include some manufacturers, especially of semi conductors, and there are many service sector businesses in ICT, multimedia and healthcare businesses. The local Radboud University specialises in scientific research in physics and electrical engineering, there are vocational schools for education, social work and medicine, and the town is a world centre for psycholinguistics, being the home of the Max Planck Institute and the Donders Institute.
