Just before the holidays, the European Commission unveiled Part I of the EU Biotech Act<\/a>, a long\u2011awaited signal that Europe aims to unlock biotech\u2019s full potential. In recent weeks, we worked closely with our members to analyse the full proposal and share our recommendations with the Dutch government as it prepares its official response (the BNC fiche). Hollandbio is hopeful: Part I clearly holds promise for our sector. However, we are not there yet. Without proper EU and national resourcing, clearer choices and a broader scope, it still risks falling short of being the breakthrough Europe needs. In our overall position<\/a> and more detailed assessment<\/a> we explain where Europe takes meaningful steps forward, where it falls short, and what must be sharpened to enable a framework that truly supports biotech from early R&D through to market uptake. Do you see opportunities, gaps or must-haves for Part I as well as Part II (expected Q3 2026)? We\u2019d love to hear from you as we continue engaging with ministries and stakeholders to secure the best possible conditions for biotech<\/a> to scale and thrive in Europe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
