Mission

The UMCG Innovation Center is the one-stop-shop for researchers, healthcare professionals and collaborating partners looking to turn promising ideas into real-world impact. With multidisciplinary expertise and an extensive network, we guide innovators at every stage, from early concept through to implementation. Whether it involves launching startups, supporting licensing agreements, enabling industry-sponsored research, or building innovation communities, we are able to enhance and accelerate your journey from idea to society.

 

Vision

We believe that great healthcare innovations are more than just a great idea, they need the right support to reach the communities that need them most. Our vision is a future where UMCG employees and partners can focus on discovery, knowing that a dedicated team is behind them to navigate the path to societal change. Through our work in areas such as clinical implementation, business development, public-private partnerships, the Innovation Center strives to make the Northern Netherlands a leading region for healthcare innovation.
