Workshop for spearhead innovation region

𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝗲𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗸𝗸𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗸𝗼𝗺𝘁. Thank you to all the people who provided input to our agenda 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼 during our working workshop.

Key Region Leiden has a solid foundation of (inter)nationally leading knowledge institutions, innovative companies in bioscience, aerospace and autonomous systems (drones) as well as an entrepreneurial community that wants to keep developing.

This existing strength makes our region a place where knowledge, talent and entrepreneurship naturally find and strengthen each other. With the partners from the Key Region Leiden, we are building on this together.

In a well-attended working workshop, we laid the foundation for the agenda of our Key Region Leiden Innovation spearhead. The starting point was one shared ambition: 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝗲𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗷𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘃𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼.

This requires room to continue developing, on:
✨ Talent development and entrepreneurship
✨ Connection between SMEs and knowledge clusters
✨ Cross-overs between bioscience, autonomous tech and space
✨ Meeting, visibility and a strong network

It is precisely in that connection that new energy is created, ideas blossom and new projects emerge that contribute to a future-oriented region.

The foundation has been laid. Now we continue to build. With joint steps, focus and a network that continues to strengthen each other. Will you join us?

To measure is to know

Therefore, we are also going to investigate the Leiden – Katwijk – Noordwijk knowledge axis. This is a project from the Regional Investment Agenda of the Holland Rhineland Region.

The research project consists of four parts; one overarching study on the Knowledge and Innovation Axis and three sub-studies on the individual clusters Leiden Bio Science Park, NL Space Campus and Unmanned Valley.

The studies map the preconditions in areas such as infrastructure, space and energy. Central to this is cooperation within the triple helix: governments, knowledge institutions and companies work together on a single regional approach.
