From a bold idea to a thriving biotech: a conversation with the CEO of Argenx
Health Holland has allocated €1.5 million Public Private Partnership (PPP) subsidy, and invites companies and research organisations to participate in the EUREKA Biotech Call. This international call offers opportunities for innovative R&D collaborations with partners from multiple countries, aimed at accelerating biotechnological innovations with societal and economic impact. In this call, the Netherlands specifically focuses on advancing innovative cell and gene therapies (CGT) and Organ-on-Chip (OoC) technologies, with the goal of accelerating the translation of research into practical applications, thereby contributing to the economic earning capacity and international position of the Netherlands.

The EUREKA Biotech Call offers Dutch organisations the opportunity to take the next step in the development of innovative CGT and OoC solutions through international collaboration. Both Dutch SMEs and Dutch research organisations are eligible to apply for PPS subsidy.
Participation in this call provides access to an international network of companies and research organisations. These strategic partnerships and the exchange of knowledge enable participants to advance the translation of research into practical solutions, thereby creating both economic and societal value for all participating countries.
A consortium must consist of at least two independent Dutch partners, complemented by at least two independent partners from one of the priority countries participating in this EUREKA Call. For both the Netherlands and the priority countries, at least one company and one research organisation must be involved. The partners jointly carry out R&D within a balanced consortium that delivers value for all participating countries.
Health Holland priority countries that also participate in this EUREKA Biotech Call are Belgium, France, Germany, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. In addition, organisations from other countries may participate, provided they secure their own funding.
