CONNECT WITH KEY PLAYERS IN HEALTH & LIFE SCIENCES 21 APRIL 2022
On 21 April 2022, the 9th edition of the leading conference for key players in Health & Life Sciences, Innovation for Health, takes place in Amsterdam! Thus, mark your calendars and join us in-person or online at Innovation for Health 2022. The theme of the next conference builds upon our previous edition and isinnovation for prevention.
At Innovation for Health 2022, you get to share insights, catch up on the latest trends, establish new or build upon valuable connections and collaborations and much more. With our energizing programme, we bring top-notch speakers to the stage, display high impact innovations, highlight best practices, and demonstrate inspiring developments in healthcare. Inspiring, interacting, and networking are at the heart of the conference. Moreover, the conference brings over 900 innovators, entrepreneurs, thought leaders and other key players from Health & Life Sciences together to shape the future of healthcare together.
There is more and more attention for the importance of nutrition in preventing diseases. The relationship between nutrition and health is obvious, but to a large extent it is still virgin territory. Within the life sciences, health care and food sector, people are working hard on innovations. The strength, however, lies in cooperation. What new opportunities arise then? Do we want personalised drinks with ingredients that keep us healthy? Will we use smart apps in our personal (di)food choices? What are tips for entering into special nutrition contracts with health insurers? What challenges do these sectors face and what can they learn from each other?
During this exclusive free event, organised by LifetecZONe, Health Valley and Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo, we bring together entrepreneurs from all networks.
After the success of previous editions, Health Valley Event 2022 in Nijmegen will be bigger and more international than ever. We are setting up a live three-day program that will also be accessible online. The edition on 15, 16 and 17 March will focus on connect, challenge and grow! Experience the latest trends and developments in Life Science & Health. Be inspired, challenged and surprised. Will you join us?

Picking the wrong people and creating the wrong team is the fastest way to kill your startup. But how do you pick the right people and create a team that complements each other? A team that is open, shares lessons and learns together?
After al, success is defined by the people in the company and the way they can cooperate.
Ideally you will have a team that mostly supports the direction your startup is going into, but with a certain amount of courage, a critical view and an ability to discuss the important matters. But mostly a team of people that complements you.
A complementary team starts with knowledge about yourself as a leader or founder. Who am I? What are my qualities? What are my pitfalls? How do I perceive the world?
Trainer Frank Stofmeel is a team and performance coach (see LinkedIn profile) and he will guide you through questions that will help you find out what you need from other people. It will help you to make your team complimentary to accelerate growth and increase results on the long term.
This workshop will be a quest into yourself and will help you find out what you need from other people to complement your character so you know how to build a successful team!
Live event We aim to organize this workshop in a live setting and will take all necessary RIVM/national guidelines into account. If a physical workshop is not possible, we will reschedule to a later date.
This workshop is specifically for innovative startups and entrepreneurs and is free of charge. We welcome new contacts, so feel free to share this invite with your network!
De groeiprognose voor de Duitse markt is voor de komende jaren uitstekend. Het feit dat wij als bedrijven in Oost Nederland dicht tegen Duitsland aanliggen, biedt ons juist nu goede zakelijke kansen. Maar dat vergt wel een gedegen aanpak. Juist een goede voorbereiding op de Duitse markt maakt het verschil tussen wel of geen succes.
Ondernemers met concrete plannen om hun activiteiten uit te breiden naar Duitsland kunnen deelnemen aan de groepstraining “Starten in Duitsland”.
Wil je…
• een eigen concreet en praktisch plan van aanpak waarmee je direct aan de slag kunt
• veel praktijkinformatie van andere Nederlandse ondernemers op de Duitse markt
• handige tips en bruikbare tools om te ondernemen op de Duitse markt
De training Starten in Duitsland is 100% praktijk gericht en levert je de basis voor een plan dat ook binnen jouw organisatie werkbaar en realiseerbaar is.
Er wordt een actieve deelname van iedere ondernemer verwacht. Dit betekent voorbereiding aan de hand van vragen bij iedere deeltraining zodat goede keuzes worden gemaakt voor het eigen Plan van Aanpak. Tevens is het na elke deeltraining mogelijk om persoonlijk verder te worden begeleid. Tijdens de laatste training wordt een presentatie gegeven van het eigen Plan van Aanpak waar onderlinge reflectie en evaluatie plaatsvindt vanuit de groep en de aanwezige ondernemers.

Yesterday we organised the workshop ‘How to grow your business internationally’. Lizanne Jakobs of Brilliant Work taught us a number of key points that you need to consider if you want to expand your business abroad. She listed some common mistakes and stressed the importance of setting goals and having a good preparation & planning. Besides the fact that you have to speak the language of the country where you want to do business, it is important that your presentation, brochures and website are professional. And don’t forget the culture of the country where you want to do business! It is also important to do market research first (Is there a market for your product, or maybe a different version of your product?) And what help can you get from the government? This very practical & valuable workshop laid a good foundation for crossing the border. Thank you Lizanne!
Briskr and Catalyze have announced a new partnership whereby Catalyze will provide support to Briskr start-ups and SMEs towards successful growth. Briskr is a consortium in the Nijmegen area with the aim of helping start-ups and SMEs to grow faster and make more impact on the Life Sciences & Health and High-Tech sectors. Briskr believes that interaction between knowledge-intensive companies and knowledge institutes, such as universities and government institutions, is essential to realize innovation. Operating in three areas – business support, project and program development for innovation activities, and acquisition of innovation companies, Briskr brings together innovative entrepreneurs in its incubation program (start-ups), acceleration program (scale-ups), and activation program (established SMEs).
Briskr Programme Manager, Martijn Kriens, together with Catalyze Founder & Director, Jalal Es-Sbai.
Catalyze is an innovation consultancy delivering expertise, ranging from strategic consultancy to funding applications, to project management, for clients working in the fields of life sciences & health, and green & sustainable innovations. Driven by a belief that the most meaningful innovations deserve the best chance to succeed, Catalyze has established itself as a key player in the innovation ecosystem, headquartered in Amsterdam and operating worldwide. To date, Catalyze has raised €750 million in funding for its clients, built a network ecosystem of more than 2500 partners, and grown to over 120 employees.
Catalyze joins the Briskr ecosystem as a supporting partner that will deliver comprehensive strategic support, including contribution to Briskr’s general programming, provision of training activities, business coaching and general strategic advice to the entrepreneurs. Activities provided will cover strategic funding advice, tips and tricks for grant writing, and the opportunity for Briskr start-ups and SMEs to gain further strategic support. Together, Catalyze and Briskr will work to accelerate the success of Briskr members operating in Life Sciences & Health and High Tech.
Jalal Es-Sbai, Founder & Director of Catalyze comments on the new partnership:
“The life sciences & health business community in the Nijmegen region contains a mix of exciting new start-ups, fast-growing scale-ups, SME’s and pharmaceutical companies. It is great to be part of Briskr network together with partners such as the municipality of Nijmegen, Oost NL, Rabobank, the Economic Board, Janssen Pharmaceuticals and the Radboud Universities. We are looking forward to beginning our role as partner, wherein we will make impact for its members by providing strategic support, focussed squarely on accelerating new innovations. Through this new partnership, we also further strengthen our position as innovation consultants.”
Martijn Kriens, Programme Manager of Briskr:
“Working together with companies in supporting knowledge intensive start-ups is important to create an impact driven ecosystem in Nijmegen. This support around different dimensions is important. As supporting partners we now have Aeternus (company valuation), BDO (accounting), EP&C (patent attorneys), Janssen Pharmaceuticals JLABS (acceleration), Rabobank (financials), Poelmann van den Broek (lawyers) and now Catalyze. The addition of the knowledge of Catalyze around strategic fundraising and project management will further help start-ups in our ecosystem to grow.”
In complex sectors as Health and High Tech specialised knowledge is often needed to be able to advance the business. But as an entrepreneur you do not always have all the necessary knowledge about regulation, IP, design but also finance and marketing available in your company. To help you search for the needed temporary/specialized expertise Briskr has developed an ecosystem of reliable suppliers.
All companies in this database have agreed to the publication of the (contact)data. And it is agreed that first talks (up to 2 hours) are free of charge when you have been transferred by Briskr.

Health Valley nodigt zorgaanbieders die actief zijn in cure en/of care, uit om vóór 4 februari 2022 projecten in de zorg in te dienen waarbij door middel van technologie, zorg dichterbij de eigen leefomgeving wordt gebracht, met als doel om langer zelfstandig te kunnen blijven functioneren. Een multidisciplinaire jury beoordeelt alle inschrijvingen. Het meest veelbelovende project ontvangt de prestigieuze Health Valley Bridge prijs en het bedrag van € 15.000 euro dat eraan verbonden is. De uitreiking vindt plaats op 16 maart 2022 tijdens het Health Valley Event.
Brug tussen zorginstelling en ondernemer De naam van de prijs verwijst naar de brug die het slaat tussen een zorginstelling en een ondernemer om samen innovaties mogelijk te maken. Harry van Dorenmalen, voorzitter bestuur Health Valley en voorzitter vakjury: “Goede zorg die toegankelijk en beschikbaar is voor iedereen, daar streven wij naar. Bouwend op de betrokkenheid van de professionals en gebruikmakend van relevante innovaties. De Health Valley Bridge prijs ondersteunt de brug tussen de werelden van zorg en technologie en draagt daarmee bij aan een voortdurend krachtiger zorgsysteem. We waarderen hiermee die mensen in de zorg die anders durven doen!”
Lef en leiderschap in de zorg belonen Nicole Pijnenburg, Directeur Informatievoorziening bij Menzis en tevens sponsor van de prijs: “De zorg is continu in ontwikkeling en we staan voor grote uitdagingen om de zorg toekomstbestendig te maken. Doelmatige innovaties kunnen hier aan bijdragen en daar is lef en leiderschap voor nodig. Met de Health Valley Bridge Prijs willen wij als Menzis het lef en leiderschap in de zorg een podium geven en belonen.”
De vakjury De jurering zal plaatsvinden door een panel van 5 personen dat is samengesteld uit het Health Valley partnernetwerk, waaronder De Groeiversneller van Oost NL.
