The Amsterdam Life Sciences District is characterised by its vibrant ecosystem. The idea of bold entrepreneurs and prominent scientists inspiring each other fits in well with a modern city like Amsterdam.

It is a place where companies dare to link up together and become stronger in the process. And where established companies can expand and send their innovations all over the world. Ahti (Amsterdam health & technology institute) is a key player in this process. Another important part of the ecosystem is made up of companies operating in the fields of med-tech, e-health and gene therapy, and academic institutions focused on the fields of cardiovascular disease, oncology, neurology and immunology. Both startups and major concerns are attracted by the power and dynamism at the heart of the Amsterdam Life Sciences District.
