Life sciences and healthcare

Flanders’ life sciences sector is remarkably diverse. In Belgium’s northern region, the full value chain is represented—from research and discovery to development and commercialization—by young start-ups, established local companies and multinational groups alike. Driven by strong collaboration across biotech, medtech, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, Flanders offers a distinctive life sciences ecosystem supported by robust financing opportunities and an engaged government. Is your company ready to take its place in this dynamic hub?

Flanders’ life sciences industry gained international recognition thanks to local biotech companies that brought products to patients while generating attractive returns on investment. Many began as university spin-offs, scaled quickly and were later acquired by leading international players.

Thinking of establishing your life sciences presence in Europe? Flanders’ Team in Italy can provide tailored support, free of charge and in full confidentiality, to help you:

·        internationalize your business;

·        assess whether Flanders is the right fit;

·        identify the most effective business approach for the region;

·        find the right location within Flanders’ business ecosystem.
