Fostering an environment in which biotech companies can grow and thrive.

The Netherlands is a country of doers. We see a challenge, come up with smart solutions, and go for it. That’s how we’ve grown, and that’s how we’ve stayed at the forefront of global biotech for years. And this is no accident—we build from the knowledge, courage and partnership at our foundations.

But that leading position is under pressure. While other countries are hitting the accelerator, we’re blocking ourselves with regulation, procedures and a lack of decisiveness. If we don’t act now, we’ll turn dependent on countries like China and the United States. They’ll run off with our knowledge and companies, as well as with the things that make life better: new medicines, climate-friendly food, clean materials, and an economy that keeps running.

Building the smart solutions for tomorrow means giving entrepreneurship room, investments certainty, and innovations the speed they need to go to market. Rather than innovating, biotech entrepreneurs are busy raising funds and navigating regulations. Our innovation cannot afford to slow down—without progress, the Netherlands will find itself standing still.

With our Rock-solid innovation climate program, hollandbio is committed to creating fertile ground where biotech companies can grow and flourish. An innovation climate that builds on what we have achieved, invests in what works, and gives space to those who dare to take risks. By making sure biotech has the room it needs, we can stay on course towards a healthy world with a future.

That’s why we are working on:

A business climate that rewards courage and gives frontrunners clarity, speed and certainty
Growth funding that better meets the needs of biotech entrepreneurs and allows them to focus on innovation
Smart knowledge transfer so that good ideas don’t just sit on the shelf, but grow into businesses, products and jobs
