From Idea to Impact: Inside Rotterdam’s Life Sciences Ecosystem
Rotterdam Square sits at the center of a growing LSH ecosystem in Rotterdam. As the campus organization of the Erasmus MC Campus, it connects research, startups, scale-ups, and established companies, supporting the progression of innovations toward clinical and commercial application across the region. By linking research, business, education, and government, scientific output is translated into patient-relevant solutions that can move more effectively toward real-world use. “We see our role as connecting stakeholders across the ecosystem and supporting progression from idea to implementation,” says Ellen Smit of Rotterdam Square.
