Celebrating 10 years LifeSciences@Work

Since the start of the LS@W programme over 150 teams of asprining entrepreneurs, startups and scale-ups have participated in the Venture Challenge, Expert Classes and Value Centre, resulting in a growing alumni network of over 300 life sciences entrepreneurs, mentors and experts. On top of that more than 100 new companies were started by Venture Challenge and PreSeed Grant alumni, collectively raising more than 250 million euro in funds and generating more than 500 new jobs. So that calls for a party to celebrate!

Join us on November 29 at the Dutch Life Sciences Conference for a festive celebration and learn more about the results that we have obtained over the last 10 years. We close the day with a festive networking reception with everybody that has participated in one of the LS@W activities or contributed as expert, jury, partner or mentor.

Chretien Herben, Programme Director LS@W: "I am proud to see so that with 10 years of Venture Challenge and LifeSciences@Work we have been able to help get a whole new generation of starting entrepreneurs grow into successful biotech and medtech companies."

Are you an aspiring entrepreneur and do you want to take your ground breaking invention to the market? Visit the LifeSciences@Work website or contact Chretien Herben for more information. The LifeSciences@Work Accelerator is powered by Health~Holland, Top Sector Life Sciences & Health.

We hope to see you at the LS@W 10 Year Anniversary!

A new perspective on lifestyle and vitality

“Prevention is better than cure” – Desiderius Erasmus

The ageing population, rising healthcare expenditure, an inevitable increase in chronic diseases and the expected staff shortage in healthcare are urging the Dutch healthcare system to evolve rapidly.

What if we all become 100 years old? How do we maintain affordable care and how do we gain even more health benefits? These questions are important to all of us: citizens, professionals, entrepreneurs, scientists and government because everyone wants to enjoy a healthy and lively old age. Besides a system change, we need to start fitting care to patients’ needs and switching from a supply-oriented to a demand-oriented healthcare system.

How can you achieve a smart system in which prevention has a prominent role?
Evening 2: Lifestyle as remedy | 20 November 2018
