TU Delft director leaves within a year

Kemo Agović is stepping down as director of TU Delft’s Innovation & Impact Centre (I&IC). That announcement came less than a year after he took office. Why he is leaving so soon is not clear.

In a short message to TU Delft employees on 28 February, Agović wrote that he wants to take his career “in a new direction” that is in line with his “long-term goals and aspirations”. Rector magnificus and president of the Executive Board Tim van der Hagen said in the same message to ‘regret’ and ‘respect’ Agović’s decision.

Agović started as I&IC director in April 2023. It was not his first position at TU Delft. He was managing director at QuTech between September 2015 and February 2018. Between those two jobs, he was managing director at TNO. He succeeded Paul Althuis, who headed valorisation at TU Delft for almost 20 years, in 2023.

Agović could not be reached for comment.
