Renewed Advisory Board of Top Sector LSH

The Advisory Board (Regiegroep) of the Top Sector Life Sciences & Health (LSH) consists of LSH professionals from different disciplines varying from ethics in innovation and venture capital investors to industrial CEOs. Top Sector LSH welcomes ten new members of the Advisory Board who joined at the start of April. The Advisory Board now has 19 members, who will focus on strategic issues in the LSH sector and advise the Top Team of the Top Sector. Every member will hold a portfolio of specific sector and/or societal challenge themes and initiatives. With this the Top Sector hopes to cover a wide range of challenges and solutions in the sector.

Every 3 months the Advisory Board comes together to discuss the latest developments in the field of prevention, cure and care. Just like in previous years, these meetings will be organised throughout the Netherlands at regional organisations.
