Thematic clusters
biotech booster

Biotech Booster operates on a national level through a central office and 39 business- and impact developers spread over 20+ knowledge institutes in The Netherlands. We defined 5 Thematic Clusters (TC’s) that each represent specific biotech focus areas. Within these clusters we bring together knowledge institutes, scientists and the biotech industry to join forces and ensure that the benefits of biotechnology will have more and faster impact on society. 

Industrial Biotechnology & Production

The Industrial Biotechnology & Production cluster focuses on commercially driven innovations that utilize microorganisms and their products, fermentation and related processes or modelling approaches to develop and scale or have a major impact on the production of valuable compounds.

Agriculture & Food

The Agriculture & Food cluster focuses on biological systems and organisms that help develop environmentally sustainable solutions for the agriculture, food and feed sectors. From technologies like ‘traditional’ food fermentation, precision fermentation and cultured meat to crop editing of plants towards microbiome solutions for soil, health and wellbeing as well as nutraceutical development.

ATMP's , Biopharmaceuticals & Associated Enabling Technologies

This cluster within red biotechnology focuses on developing innovative medicines for human use based on genes, tissues or cells, biopharmaceuticals, and technologies that enhance the discovery, development and efficacy of ATMPs and biopharmaceuticals. 

Diagnostics and Services

This cluster focuses on commercially driven projects aimed at improving the collection and analysis of (human) biological data by detecting, measuring, and monitoring physiological, biochemical, and genetic characteristics, along with any services related to these processes.

Vaccines, Small Molecules, Discovery & Development Platforms

This cluster focuses on biotechnology innovations to prevent and treat human diseases with vaccines and small molecules, while advancing cutting-edge platform technologies that drive the discovery, testing, and development of future therapeutics.
