Main take-aways

  • The Netherlands is in the scientific top: In academia, the Netherlands is a leader when it comes to biotechnological developments. That knowledge is often exploited abroad. We should do that here.
  • Startup ecosystem: a better understanding from universities about the startup's business case and greater availability of venture capital in the Netherlands, are possible ways to strengthen the startup climate in the Netherlands.
  • Awareness for innovative solutions is crucial: engineered organisms do not evoke a positive image in everyone. With more knowledge and understanding about the possibilities of bio-engineering, social acceptance increases and we can make more impact with this technology.
