Science for Health 2025: How to anchor innovation in Belgium?
Belgium puts a lot of resources into research and innovation, supporting the creation of spinouts and startups with brilliant potential health solutions. But as they grow, most of those companies eventually hit a point where local support isn’t enough—they have to look beyond Europe for their manufacturing, clinical trials, and funding needs. How can Belgium close this gap so companies can stay and thrive in Europe?
Science for Health returns this year with a timely theme—Stronger Regions, Greater Impact. The ambition is clear: connect Belgium’s complementary strengths to keep breakthrough health innovation rooted locally while growing globally. The event on 4 November 2025 in Brussels will focus ‘ATMP & New Modalities’, with case studies, ecosystem spotlights, and high-level discussions designed to turn ideas into action.
Jérôme Van Biervliet— Managing Director at VIB and Chair of the Board of Biovia—will deliver a keynote about ‘Anchoring Innovation in Belgium’ to tackle the tough questions: What are we missing and how can we improve?
