From February until June 2015 three draft versions were published on our website open for comments from the entire sector. In addition a consultation meeting with key stakeholders was held to obtain their feedback. The input of the sector was tremendous and helped to form the K&I Agenda to an agenda inspired by the complete sector.

In essence the Agenda centres around the Top Sector’s core tasks of facilitating and stimulating the operational critical success factor: R&D in public-private partnerships. R&D initiatives are embedded in three programmatic pillars: (I) Fundamental Life Sciences Research, (II) Applied and Practice-Based Health and Functioning Science Research and (III) Built Environment, ICT-infrastructure and Concept and System Development.

Health~Holland aims to initiate and facilitate the organisation and operations of R&D initiatives through matching a science-based technology push with a market and sociocultural pull in a sustainable knowledge and innovation infrastructure.

The K&I Agenda is the guidance for the development of the Knowledge & Innovation Contract 2016-2017 that will see light in September 2015. Download the K&I Agenda on the Health~Holland website and contact us when necessary with respect to the Knowledge & Innovation Contract 2016-2017.

Follow developments regarding the K&I Contract on our website www.health-holland.com. We will share updates on the progress as of week 28.
