Green Chemistry Campus at the Bio World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology 2013

Several leading Dutch companies have joined forces in the Holland Biotech Pavilion at the Bio World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology 2013 in Montreal.

The Netherlands is home to internationally renowned scientists with a strong reputation for knowledge and expertise in the field of industrial biotechnology and biochemistry.

Strong collaboration between the world-class academic and industrial sector, supported by government, has led to groundbreaking research and successful innovations. The Netherlands offers a unique global cluster where different parties collaborate on innovative business cases to realize the transition towards a biobased economy.

The proximity of Rotterdam, Europe's largest seaport, offers excellent international logistical access and a high density of suppliers and end-users in the surrounding industrial zone.

The presence of outstanding research and higher education institutions with unique professional training facilities, provides easy access to human capital.
