With more than 3,000 Life Sciences & Health R&D companies, 13 universities, 2,100+ ongoing clinical trials, 104,000+ employees, and an export value of €50 billion, the Netherlands is a major player in the European life sciences industry, boasting a strong technological position in areas such as human vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and healthcare infrastructure. The Dutch sector owes this position to collaboration, cooperation, and coalition building between companies, research institutes, and universities.
LIFE Connect is an informal, exclusive networking event designed specifically for the members and partners of the LIFE cooperative. Hosted in a relaxed setting, LIFE Connect serves as a platform for discussing ALV (General Members Meeting) topics, while also offering short, insightful presentations from selected speakers and rounding up the afternoon with drinks and bites.
