Leiden Bio Science Park is proud to be part of CDMO Live 2025 in Rotterdam, a leading event where contract development and manufacturing organisations (CDMOs) gather to explore innovation, growth, and collaboration within the biotech sector.
A standout moment was the panel discussion “Netherlands Biotech Ecosystem: Europe’s Innovation Powerhouse,” featuring our director Esther Peters alongside Ellen Smit (Rotterdam Square), Annemiek Verkamman (hollandbio), and Dexter T. (Tjoapack). Together, they highlighted the unique strengths of the Dutch biotech ecosystem, from advanced R&D and state-of-the-art manufacturing, to the collaborative culture that drives it all forward.
Also representing the Park is HALIX, one of our standout CDMOs. During the event, HALIX is offering an exclusive tour of their GMP production facility in Leiden, giving attendees a behind-the-scenes look at the work taking place right in the heart of our community.
We’re excited to continue connecting with peers, partners, and pioneers, and to keep showcasing how Leiden Bio Science Park plays a central role in shaping the future of biotech in Europe.
