It is the science andinnovation region of The Netherlands for agrofood,life sciences and health. Nationally, the annualturnover in agrofood exceeds 40 billion euro. Hollandis proud to have a great history in food and agriculture- not only in R&D and production but also inmarketing, trade and logistics.Groningen presents itself as BioMed City, and forgood reason. The presence of several prominentbusinesses, the excellent research institutes,opportunities for knowledge transfer, and theavailability of business incubators ensure thatGroningen can offer a highly advantageous businessclimate for companies in this sector.BioMedbooster is a valorization company. The goalof Biomedbooster is to identify new ideas andtechnologies, analyse their market potential and assistwith further commercial exploitation. For this,BioMedbooster has been granted the unique rights ofthe University of Maastricht (uM) and the AcademicHospital Maastricht (azM) to facilitate theexploitation of all new inventions in life sciences.CCLS is the Life Sciences network for the regionSouth-Holland. With more than 90 Life Sciencescompanies, incubator facilities, research institutes,world leading Universities and Medical CentresSouth-Holland is the most dense area of Life Sciencesactivities in the Netherlands. CCLS guides you toexcellent business and research opportunities presentin the Life Sciences Cluster of South-Holland.Niaba is the Netherlands' Biotech IndustryAssociation. With more than 60 members it representsthe majority of the Dutch biotechnological companiesand related organisations in human and animalhealthcare, food, feed, agriculture and environment.Among its members are not only large multinationalscompanies such as Unilever and Akzo Nobel, but alsosmall biotechnological companies, major researchinstitutes and associations in related sectors. Niaba isactive in the fields of lobbying and advisinggovernments, but also on issues such as research anddevelopment. Furthermore Niaba focuses oncommunication with the general public onbiotechnology.Niaba also works on improving other aspects of thebusiness climate. One issue is the fact that Dutchuniversities do not patent their inventions as often asrequired. At the same time scientists still face toomany problems when they want to start their owncompany.The aim of the NBV is to promote the development ofbiotechnology in its broadest sense.The European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB) wasestablished by European scientists in 1978. Theobjective of EFB is to promote safe and ethicallyLife Sciences in the Netherlands 18

EFB also wishes to expand collaborationsbetween academic and industrial researchersthroughout Europe to increase competencies,strengthen education, promote innovation and increasethe benefits of biotechnological research to society atlarge.Netherlands Biotechnology Foundation was foundedin 1986 with the aim to stimulate biotechnology intheNetherlands, with special focus on supporting youngresearchers, biotechnological events and facilitatingthe participation of Dutch biotechnologists ininternational activities.B-Basic is a consortium of universities, researchinstitutions and industry. The programme focuses onthe development of new bio-based productionconcepts for the chemical (and energy) industry whichare rooted in the current explosive increase infundamental insights in molecular biology through thegenomics revolution, combined with advancedbioprocess technology and existing chemicalknowledge. Research in the B-Basic optimally benefitsfrom the latest breakthroughs in genomics research byusing the new insights to develop processes that canconvert biomass into chemicals using biocatalysts asmicroorganisms and enzymes.B-Basic is an independent NOW-ACTS programme.The scientific and business director are provided bythe Delft University of Technology.ACTS is the Dutch platform for pre-competitiveresearch in chemistry and chemical technology inwhich catalysis plays a pivotal role. In ACTSgovernment, industry, university and knowledgeinstitutes cooperate in public-private partnerships. It isthe mission of ACTS to initiate and support thedevelopment of new technological concepts for thesustainable production of materials and energycarriers, essential for the supply of food, comfort,health, shelter and mobility to the inhabitants oftomorrow's world. Through its activities ACTS willcontribute to the sustainable economic growth and tothe knowledge infrastructure in the Netherlands, andattract young talent to a career in science andtechnology.TechnoPartner concentrates on helping technostartersin Holland.Portal site for Biotechnology in the Netherlands.ASSOCIATION OF BIOTECHNOLOGY CENTRESIN THE NETHERLANDS.University medical centres and other academic bodiesare a source of many biotechnology start-ups. Theirdevelopment of new drugs and equipment has had asignificant influence on business processes in thehealth sector. At the same time, the industry is rapidlyinternationalizing and rolling back national and marketboundaries.To be of even greater service to the organizationsoperating in this dynamic world, Ernst & Youngrecently combined its many years’ know-how andexperience in this area to create a Health SciencesSector Group.Life Sciences in the Netherlands 19
