That is the firm belief at LIFE Cooperative. The annual conference, which this time featured Peter Wennink as one of the speakers, recently celebrated its fifth edition. The LIFE Science Innovation Award was presented, and the companies and guests in attendance can look back on an inspiring evening. This reflects the ambition of LIFE Cooperative, which was set up over 10 years ago to connect people and is now continuing to build the conditions necessary for growth.
“We do not need to be the best at everything. The question is where we are strong, where we can excel, and how we can ensure that knowledge and innovation actually lead to companies, products and international business.” This message from former ASML CEO Peter Wennink was a key theme of the fifth edition of the LIFE Science Conference, held on Tuesday 22 September at Forum Groningen. With his keynote, Wennink also echoed the findings of his national advisory report The Route to Future Prosperity, in which he calls for strengthening the Netherlands’ capacity to generate economic value.
Voor startups in Life Sciences & Health sector is een sterk netwerk minstens zo belangrijk als een goed idee. Toegang tot kapitaal, talent en markten kan het verschil maken tussen een veelbelovende innovatie en een technologie die daadwerkelijk de markt bereikt. Precies daarom sponsort Future Tech Ventures (FTV) dit jaar de LIFE Science Conference op 22 september. Voor het investeringsfonds is de conferentie een belangrijke plek om zichtbaar te zijn binnen het Life Sciences & Health-ecosysteem én om de bedrijven in zijn portefeuille verder te helpen.
