It is much more than a cluster of companies and knowledge institutions; it is a complete ecosystem where science, entrepreneurship and talent come together to create solutions that have global impact. This concentration of knowledge and innovation not only strengthens Leiden&#8217;s international position, but also attracts parties working on the future of life sciences. For the city and region, this means more than economic growth: it increases the appeal to (international) talent and stimulates cooperation between companies, education, government and other knowledge clusters.   <\/p>\n<h3><b>Building<\/b> on position<\/h3>\n<p>Key Region Leiden wants to build on this position. We are therefore starting a program to put our region even more strongly on the map as an innovation region. We will attract a program manager and start a study of the knowledge clusters and their mutual coherence. The goal: to strengthen each other and thus profile the region as the place for innovation and collaboration.   <\/p>\n<p>Read the full <a href=\"https:\/\/dutchreview.com\/culture\/leiden-europes-science-hub\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> on Dutch Review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dutch Review pays attention to Leiden Bio Science Park and the innovative companies operating here in a recent article.
