The Power of Ecosystem Collaboration & The Essentials of Partnering with a Healthcare Company
6 July 2023 | Startup Village Amsterdam
Stakeholder collaboration is recognized as one of the Dutch life sciences ecosystem’s core strengths. How can startups benefit from that strength to overcome the barriers in biotech innovation? During an interactive morning session, Johnson & Johnson Innovation is bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders from the Dutch life sciences ecosystem for a discussion.
In the afternoon we will zoom in on the opportunities of partnering with a healthcare company. Such a partnership or collaboration may bring startups access to expertise, resources and networks which are otherwise hard to tap into. But how can startups become partner-ready faster?
Together with HAN University of Applied Sciences, CITC developed the Semiconductor Packaging University Program. The program provides a connection between education and industry and as such contributes to the training and skills of people that align with industry needs. People who are in high demand – now and in the future. The program therefore represents an important step in securing the future of the semiconductor industry in Europe.
Industry experts
The program offers its participants training in all relevant aspects of chip packaging, both in theory and in practice. The theoretical part is provided by industry experts – in addition to CITC and HAN, the program was developed in collaboration with NXP, Nexperia, Ampleon, TU Delft and TNO.
The practical assignments of the program are carried out on the premises of CITC and several semiconductor companies.
Integrated chip technology and its applications
You learn about the semiconductor industry and take a deep dive into the final step of chip manufacturing. This is the phase in which the chip is packaged in its housing.
Developments such as integrated photonics, system-on-chip, embedded cameras, 5G antennas, sensors and micro-electro-mechanical systems place high demands on the manufacturing process… and the competencies of semiconductor staff.

“We are 21st-century citizens, doing our best to interact with 19th century-designed institutions that are based on an information technology of the 15th century” says democracy activist Pia Mancini. It’s precisely this mismatch that makes our parliamentary ‘ballot’ democracy hopelessly dysfunctional in the current ICT/network era, resulting in polarization and disengagement. But what if we decided to use these technologies for a fix? Digital networks, AI and their applications open up the possibility of large-scale, detailed-level citizen involvement and thus a transformation of representative democracy into a more participatory one. Crowdsourcing of policies is currently already being experimented worldwide at various levels of government. Meanwhile researchers are working on the development of inclusive, unbiased and effective methods for mass deliberation, reviving a spirit of consensus, trust and nuance.
The Science Café on Monday May 15th will host two pioneers and developers of future digital democracy. Martijn de Vries (TUD, Populytics) will talk about the Participatory Value Evaluation, an online method developed in Delft for evaluating policy options with the participation of large groups of citizens. This is already being applied in practice, for example currently in the government’s national climate consultation. Davide Grossi (RUG, UvA) studies decision-making in groups and what AI support it requires for realizing the ideal of large-scale online deliberation. He will discuss how we can develop algorithms that we can trust to be truly democratic. Throughout the evening Willem ‘t Hart, Rotterdam-based keyboardist/pianist/producer with passions both in music and fashion, will play his original blend of Hiphop, Neosoul and Jazz on keys and Ableton.

Are you interested in learning more about the ethical dilemmas surrounding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Join ERISC (our student-led organization that focusses on responsible innovation and ethical dilemmas surrounding AI) for an engaging workshop where we explore the complex ethical considerations that arise with AI.
In the first part of the workshop, we’ll provide a brief introduction to AI, setting the stage for deeper discussion. Next, we’ll divide the participants into groups, and present them with a variety of relevant ethical dilemmas. The groups will be challenged to actively consider all the factors at play in these situations, and work together to come up with thoughtful solutions.
Through this interactive workshop, participants will come to realize that the use of AI is not as straightforward as it may seem, and that ethical responsibility plays a critical role. Join us to expand your knowledge and develop new insights into the ethics of AI.
We can’t wait to see you there! Signing up is not needed.

Leading and managing a team is rewarding, complex, sometimes frustrating and amazing! Most entrepreneurs know more about their industry or craft than about getting the most out of the team that they work with. Yet fulfilling that role as a leader well is crucial to the success of your business, to your happiness at work and that of your employees. Something that investors also look at when deciding to put more money into your business or to keep you in your role as CEO as the company grows. Whether you have issues with your team, or everything is fine in that area but you would like to keep it that way, this afternoon will be well spent as good staff are harder to find and keep.
In this workshop, hosted by Lizanne Jakobs, we will work on crafting our knowledge and skills on:
– Your role as a leader
– The difference between managing and leading
– What to do when there is friction
– How do you keep people on track and motivated in the short and long term
Lizanne Jakobs is an award winning business coach and speaker and an entrepreneur herself.

Programme
The workshop will run from 14.30 to 17.00, with doors opening 15 minutes before hand. Half way through there will be a break and from 17.00 onwards it will turn into a networking opportunity.
“The healthcare industry has witnessed a rapid increase in the number of available medications for many diseases in the last decade, presenting new challenges for both doctors and patients. To address this problem, Bram den Teuling stepped in 12 years ago, recognizing the need to better use the data within our healthcare system.
According to Bram, using data to ensure doctors can make better decisions may seem simple at first glance. However, it turned out to be a lot more challenging. The healthcare landscape is complex and heavily regulated, requiring the consideration of medical device and privacy laws when working with sensitive data and vulnerable patients. Moreover, any insights provided should not lead to choices that negatively impact patients.
As a data scientist, Bram saw the healthcare system as a big problem that he could solve using his knowledge. His company, Orikami, focuses on delivering practical data and insights to doctors and patients. Their first product, the MS Sherpa app, helps neurologists make more informed decisions about MS treatments by empowering patients to take home-based tests that evaluate their cognition and mobility.
Bram attests that preparing oneself for the multi-faceted behemoth that is the healthcare industry is impossible. Starting at the very beginning by talking to people and identifying gaps in the market is crucial. He probably wouldn’t have stuck with his company if he’d made a completely thought-out plan at the start.
Collaborating with Briskr was a natural decision for Bram, as both companies are situated in Nijmegen and focused on digital healthcare. Through Briskr’s workshops, Bram learned about intellectual property, financing, and made new connections with important parties in the healthcare sector, such as insurers and investors.
Today, Orikami has expanded to include Orikami Oncology, a new branch focused on using data to streamline oncological treatment decisions. Through Briskr, Bram and his team found valuable support from the Business Angels network, enabling them to look for potential investors and move the company forward.
Bram’s story highlights the importance of approaching complex challenges with a collaborative spirit and a willingness to learn and adapt. He is a true inspiration to all entrepreneurs in the healthcare industry, proving that with passion, perseverance, and practical data, we can make a positive impact on the lives of doctors and patients alike.”
Whether innovators are looking for investments, research collaborations, services or potential partners, every step of the way start-ups and scale-ups need to have an Intellectual Property (IP) strategy in place. Join Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JLABS to hear from different stakeholders how they think about IP strategies and how these may influence potential opportunities for collaboration.
