Industry studies

A range of factors influence the investment climate for life sciences companies. And all factors can have a significantly different impact on large and small companies.

Besides the most important factors like tax policies and legal structures, other factors like the availability of venture capital, human capital and attitude towards animal experiments influence the investment climate for both large and small companies.

As a profound understanding these factors is crucial for the Life Sciences & Health innovation program, we initiated the following actions:

1) A (bi-)annual assessment of the overall investment climate (the Annual Strategic Outlook) for this industry in the Netherlands.

2) A research project to identify challenges to be addressed in order to further enhance growth of small and medium sized enterprises.

Both projects will be executed in cooperation with the Nyenrode Life Sciences and Healthcare Institute.

Evaluation of earlier programs

Furthermore, a follow-up study of the prior Biopartner evaluation will evaluate the results of the program and tell us more about what to do and what to avoid. In the near future the results of these studies will be published on this website. We will announce its publication in our free newsletter, click here to subscribe
