Dutch term or phrase: die hoogstaande technische mogelijkheden biedt
I'm having trouble getting the whole of this sentence to flow, but especially this middle bit. I find the use of "hoogstaande" a bit odd :-(

Y is the research centre of steel company X and has just moved into new premises.

Op 15 december 2005 huldigde X Industry Research Centre 2.000 m² laboratoriumruimte in met ongeëvenaarde simulatiemogelijkheden. Een geïntegreerde infrastructuur voor productontwikkeling, uniek in Europa.
Y Zwijnaarde werkt samen met twee partners: het Centre for Research in Metallurgy (CRM) en de Universiteit Gent. Dit leidt tot een concentratie van middelen **die hoogstaande technische mogelijkheden biedt**, waarbij de partners toch hun specifieke missie houden.

that offers advanced technical opportunities


Explanation:
This results in a concentration of resources that offers advanced technical opportunities, yet allows each of the partners maintaining their specific mission.

maybe 'technological' would make it flow even better...
