Abstract

The design of solutions to current societal challenges in human health, healthcare and nutrition, and to the sustainable production of food, feed and energy, requires academic innovations and industrial activity based on life science R&D in its broadest sense. The diversity of on-going programs shows that public-private collaboration is increasing in each of these sectors. A few examples in The Netherlands alone include the Dutch Techcenter for Life Sciences (DTL), CTMM-TraIT (TransMart, Open Clinica), NFU Data 4 Lifesciences initiative, Onco-XL, Parelsnoer, Centre for Personalized Cancer Treatment (CPCT) and Philips' Health-Suite Digital Platform in the Life Science & Health sector; Breed4Food and TIFN in Agri&Food; Virtual Lab for Plant Breeding, Seed Valley and 'Tuinbouw Digitaal' in Horticulture; and BeBasic in Biobased Economy.style the text.
