On May 30 was the launch of a new alliance: Pharma Delta. The Pharma Delta alliance aims to set a new standard for pharmaceutical excellence and collective progress. Representatives from small and large pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, educational organizations and local governments work together to focus on accelerating innovation, strengthening careers, and creating shared sustainable facilities.
Pharma Delta intends to create an ecosystem that enhances and accelerates the entire pharmaceutical chain. Pharma Delta aims not just for an increase in jobs, but for full careers and it believes in the development and retention of staff, which is vital for the growth and prosperity of our region.
The launch took place during the From Molecule to Business network event on May 30 at Pivot Park. The official launch was performed by chair Rob Nelissen, Organon Central Northern Europe and Frank den Brok, Gemeente Oss and Harmen Neidig, HAN University of Applied Sciences.
Together we boost pharma and empower careers!
Creating impact together through dynamic partnerships
The great transitions in our society require a much more agile and adaptive approach to innovation. To overcome these challenges we need ecosystems of open and dynamic collaborations of partners within the value chain.
At Holst Centre we have been practicing this innovative approach to innovation for more than 18 years. Innovation Day serves as a testament to these fruitful collaborations, featuring an exciting program that showcases highlights in key technology domains, including integrated photonics, medtech, and future electronics.
What to expect:
- Get inspired by key-notes of thought leaders
- Visit the Innovation Market to meet our experts and discover our latest innovations
- Sign up for explorative breakout sessions on specific research topics.
Furthermore, Innovation Day is the perfect occasion to meet up, exchange ideas, and explore partnerships that will boost our technological and economic ecosystem.
Let’s come together, and join us to create dynamic collaborations for impactful innovation. We look forward to seeing you on Innovation Day 2024!
By popular demand, the High Tech Network Meetings are back in action. We will now be organizing the ‘Meeting Your Peers Engineers’ about five times a year at the Noviotech Campus in Nijmegen!
These free gatherings are specially designed for engineers working in Nijmegen and the surrounding areas at High Tech/Semicon companies. The goal is simple yet powerful: to meet each other, share knowledge, and stay informed about the latest developments in our sector.
Ampleon in the spotlight
The kickoff will take place on Thursday, June 25, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Noviotech Campus. Ampleon will take the spotlight and provide the lunch. Their Director Modelling and Characterization Group,Vittorio Cuoco, will dive into one of Ampleon’s specialties: Multiphysics Simulation. Increasing pressure on cost and performance of modern MMIC products for 5G and RF applications require EM-based optimization of designs to gain competitive advantage.
To make sure that temperatures and mechanical stress levels remain under reliability limits for smaller and smaller packing solutions, Multiphysics simulations are needed at product and system level, including full chip, package, board and cooling blocks to ensure that temperatures and the mechanical stress levels remain under reliability limits.
Having EM and Multiphysics tools under the same roof with a simple interface improves efficiency, boost productivity, and enables cutting-edge designs of high-performance products.
Demcon Multiphysics shares examples of projects
Elze Knol, Group Leader at Demcon Multiphysics, will be our guest speaker. We are excited to announce that!
Demcon Multiphysics is specialized in complex multiphysics simulations, mainly using finite element and finite volume methods.

Met groot verdriet delen wij het nieuws dat Martijn Kriens op 27 mei is overleden aan de gevolgen van zijn ziekte.
Martijn stond midden in het leven, altijd vol energie en passie voor zijn werk. De laatste jaren van zijn werkzame leven was hij enorm betrokken bij Briskr. Hij was niet alleen een toegewijde professional, maar ook iemand met een hart vol dromen en een hoofd vol ideeën die hij graag wilde verwezenlijken, zowel zakelijk als privé. Zijn gedrevenheid en enthousiasme waren inspirerend voor velen om hem heen.
Martijn zal herinnerd worden om de sprankeling in zijn ogen, zijn warme glimlach en onvermoeibare inzet voor alles wat hij deed. Om het goede glas wijn in zijn hand, zijn liefde voor zijn Saab cabrio, zijn bourgondische levenswijze. Om de paradijsvogel die hij was. We missen hem enorm.
Zie de kaart als een uitnodiging om aanwezig te zijn bij de afscheidsdienst van Martijn. En voel je vrij deze te delen met je collega’s die Martijn ook hebben gekend.

Rust zacht, Martijn. Je leeft voort in onze herinneringen en in ons hart.
Bas, Floor, Linda, Marieke, Marion & Martijn S.
What’s the value of your company?
Valuation of a company is almost always hard. Sentiments play a role, but also the fact that there are many alternative ways to look at the value of a company. This is of course even more true if you run a start-up as the past offers little foundation to determine future performance and worth. But for all growth stages valuation is immensely important since external financing is in most cases the only way to grow. Therefore, it’s necessary that you understand how valuation works, that you know how best to prepare for negotiations and how to determine the conditions. This is what this workshop offers. It helps create a better understanding of company valuation and investment terms as well as the process to reach an investment deal.
Understanding the other site of the table
Investors and entrepreneurs both want a deal that makes them happy. In order to have fruitful discussions about the valuation of your company, it’s therefore important for both sides of the table to have a good understanding of each other’s perspective. What does an investor look for in a business case? What is expected from you as an entrepreneur? But also, what can you expect from an investor? Now during the deal making phase, but also later on as a shareholder in your company? Instead of looking for a bigger slice of the pie, the goal should be to make the pie bigger for everyone at the table.
Legal issues regarding the participation of investors
When an investor and entrepreneur cooperate, in principle, they have the same objectives. But that’s not the case on all aspects of the cooperation. For instance regarding an exit or the relationship between the management board and the general meeting of shareholders. These are some of the most important issues in the cooperation between an entrepreneur and an investor. Thorough thought on these issues upfront contribute to a smooth cooperation between entrepreneur and an investor.
