🤝 Amsterdam Chemistry Network (ACN) and High Tech NL are joining forces in Life Sciences and beyond! Some of the most promising innovation happens where life sciences, health, and chemistry meet deep tech. By bringing our communities closer together, we want to make those crossovers easier to find and easier to act on. To accelerate this, we have signed a Letter of Intent to promote collaboration between our two networks. 🛠️ High Tech NL is the national trade association for the Dutch high tech industry, working across semiconductors, robotics, life sciences, and energy. Its Life Sciences cluster brings biomedical solutions from lab to impact by developing technologies like lab on a chip, biosensors, and advanced instrumentation. That deep tech foundation pairs naturally with the chemistry, life sciences, and health expertise across the ACN network. In practice, this collaboration means three things: 🧩 We will build consortia that bring industry and academia together around shared innovation challenges, in life sciences and the fields around it. 🔗 We will match complementary partners and expertise, and support joint initiatives, proposals, and public private partnerships. 📣 We will strengthen each other's reach by giving greater visibility to events, funding calls, and networking opportunities. For the ACN community, this opens a direct line into a much wider national and international network. We are looking forward to building this together. 🙏 With thanks to Eric-Mark Huitema and Edwin Roovers (High Tech NL), and to Marco Tibaldi and Jawahar Kopparam (Amsterdam Chemistry Network) for making this happen. #LifeSciences #Chemistry #DeepTech #Innovation #Ecosystem #Amsterdam #HighTechNL
