Just Launched: Year in Preview 2021!

While in 2020 the development of corona vaccines was the major focus, in 2021 we can look forward to finally get out of lockdown and back to ‘normal’. Or, even better, use the pandemic as a tipping point in the transition towards a future-savvy Life Sciences & Health Sector. How? Read it in chapter 1 of our Year in Preview 2021!

This new edition of Year in Preview is filled with the most important developments in the Dutch Life Sciences & Health sector and provides a glimpse of what’s on the map for 2021. Furtermore, we also look forward to the years following and achieving our central mission: Five more years in good health for all citizens and a 30% decrease in socioeconomic differences in 2030.

What will this transformation look like? Get inspired by our future images, which show for each of the missions what the Health & Care ecosystem looks like in the future. The images, including the view of citizens, researchers, policy makers and entrepeneurs, can be found in chapter 1.

Hans Schikan, Special Envoy vaccines and Top Team member Top Sector LSH: ‘It is my strong conviction that the key ingredients of our Dutch life sciences & health ecosystem provide for a very solid basis for future growth and success.’
