Building a healthy and sustainable future together
Innovative Therapies & Human-Based Model Systems
Tackling challenges in the field of life sciences and health is essential for the welfare and prosperity of our society. Both Switzerland and the Netherlands strongly believe in international cooperation, bringing fundamental research towards practical applications. By linking up our scientific and entrepreneurial ecosystems in the area of innovative therapies and human-based model systems, we can bring pioneering solutions to the world. You are invited to join! Register your profile on this online B2match platform ‘Connecting the Dutch and Swiss Life Sciences Ecosystems’.
With Switzerland hosting leading global pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions, and the Netherlands' flourishing biopharmaceutical hubs backed by robust academic and digital infrastructure, the potential for collaboration and shared learning is substantial. By sharing knowledge and best practices, both countries can empower towards solutions for tomorrow’s challenges in healthcare and society. This platform will contribute to a better connection between the 'two worlds' of academic research on the one hand and pharmaceutical R&D and commercial innovation model on the other. As both countries are depending on demand from international markets and have meaningful yet confined support from government funds to support R&D, collaboration across borders is vital for ongoing development.
This online platform offers a marketplace and matchmaking tool where project ideas, cooperation offers, and requests can be shared, with the aim of identifying synergies, forming clusters, and selecting and integrating promising initiatives. The interactive platform serves as the starting point for collaboration. Additionally, physical and online events are regularly organized, for which you can also register through this platform. Our next event and opportunity to connect in person is the upcoming Organ-on-a-Chip and Organoids event, Thursday 28 August at Utrecht Science Park (Utrecht, the Netherlands).
