A stronger regional ecosystem for science, innovation and collaboration
On July 7th, Key Region Leiden was officially launched at Leiden Bio Science Park. This renewed public-private partnerships brings together seven municipalities, three knowledge institutions, three business associations and three leading innovation clusters: Leiden Bio Science Park, NL Space Campus and Unmanned Valley. Together, they are committed to addressing societal challenges in health, security and European strategic autonomy through long-term cooperation.
Where science becomes real-world application
Key Region Leiden is home to groundbreaking solutions that emerge from the intersection of fundamental research and high-tech entrepreneurship. From cultivated meat and medical drones to AI-driven pharmaceuticals and satellite-supported construction, this region accelerates innovation with impact. Eight of the ten national key enabling technologies are already in active development here, making it an ideal environment for content-driven conferences.
Relevance for international conference organisers
For organisers of scientific and innovation-focused events, the Key Region Leiden initiative offers a chance to connect programmes to a region that lives and breathes knowledge. The close collaboration between academia, industry and government creates valuable opportunities for engagement with local experts, partners and facilities that add depth and relevance to international events.
