Meanwhile in the Boston area
Just to underline the standing of Dutch biotech in the US, we note the great feedback from Travis McCready (President & CEO of the Massachusetts Life Science Center) in their newsletter on his visit to the Netherlands:
“I’ve just returned from a trip to the Netherlands to take part in the Global Scale-Up Program, an initiative which supports ventures in life sciences and medical devices for an international product launch. My trip was an unqualified success. The Dutch life sciences ecosystem is formidable, with some of Europe’s best scientific minds building collaborative initiatives to tackle tough challenges with a patient-centric approach that they hope will yield cost-effective solutions. From what I witnessed firsthand, it is no surprise, then, that the European Medicines Agency has been selected to join this robust ecosystem beginning in 2020. It is my hope that the Dutchand Massachusetts ecosystems can deepen their own cross-border collaboration in a way that accelerates scientific discovery and promotes an unprecedented opportunity for relationship between Massachusetts companies and European regulators.“
