Our mission Stichting Binnenstadsmanagement Enschede

It started with a thought

Future-focused development

We know what’s at stake and we’re aware of all the challenges facing our city. The SBME wants to strengthen the entrepreneurial climate and work together in a thoughtful, targeted and positive way towards developing Enschede into the capital of Twente.

A modern city like Enschede needs a keen focus on sustainability. This makes it not only more beautiful, but also future-proof. As SBME we strive for an enterprising, vibrant, safe, green and sustainable city. Not only the classic place to shop, but above all the place where it is pleasant to live, work and relax. Enschede as an attractive city for everyone.

Our philosophy

Limitless growth

As SBME we focus on the ambition that we as a region want to bind and retain talent. This requires a cool and vibrant city centre, with a metropolitan appearance. If we want to achieve this, we need a healthy business climate as the basis for a rich and varied cultural life with appealing (inter)national events.

The core values for Enschede: Enterprising, Involved, No-nonsense & Resilience have been developed and formulated by the municipality. These values underline the philosophy, ambition and objectives of SBME: growing without boundaries into the capital of Twente.
