Over 95% of technology transfer offices (TTOs) in the Human Health and Life Sciences sector are active members, leveraging our network to support their emerging spin-offs. We empower these academic entrepreneurs through expert-led sessions, pitch training, and webinars that provide practical, actionable feedback.

Investors join our network for exclusive, early-stage access to the Benelux region’s most promising human health innovations. We provide a unique “sneak peek” into emerging spin-offs from all major research institutes, ensuring they are vetted and coached before they take the stage. Through our informal “Quickfire” sessions and events, members gain high-quality deal flow and the opportunity to engage with investment-ready founders at the earliest possible stage.

Service providers gain exclusive access to the critical transition from R&D to market-ready startups. By building direct lines to Benelux technology transfer offices (TTOs), members can engage with high-potential spin-offs at their inception. Beyond early-stage project flow, the HIHR network facilitates strategic connections with leading VCs and industry giants, positioning your organization as a key partner in transforming academic research into medical breakthroughs.

Joining the network provides spin-offs with a direct bridge from the lab to the market. Founders gain exclusive access to a premier circle of investors and industry partners, complemented by intensive, tailor-made coaching. Through hands-on feedback and specialized pitch preparation, ventures are perfectly positioned to engage with leading medical innovation experts and secure critical growth milestones.
