Top Sector LSH Innovation Contract 2016-2017

The Top Sector Life Sciences & Health finalised the construction of the Innovation Contract (IC) for 2016-2017. This contract is in line with the formerly published Knowledge & Innovation Agenda (KIA) 2016-2019 and includes an overview of the indicative investments of the sector's stakeholders for the upcoming two years.

From KIA to IC
The overall ambition as stated in the KIA is to invest in new evidence-based Life Sciences and Health research & development for vital functioning citizens in a healthy economy. With this in mind the Top Sector constructed this IC. Main focus of the IC is the economic growth and societal impact by means of public private partnerships in the Dutch LSH sector, the transcending crossovers and international potential by competitiveness and market access.
