General Industry meeting BigScience.NL    
3 June 2025 at VSL in Delft

BigScience.NL organises general industry meetings in different locations in the Netherlands to inform companies about developments and opportunities at Big Science organisations. This time the general industry meeting took place at VSL in Delft to specifically address companies in this region. More than 25 companies joined the event. 

A first general presentation about the BigScience.NL network and its activities was followed by presentations by the Industrial Liaison Officers about their organisations and future opportunities for companies in Big Science organisations.
After the coffee break four companies gave insights into their experiences working with Big Science organisations – highlighting the opportunities and challenges that those projects entail. After the company presentations, a representative from Holland HighTech gave an introduction in their activities, informing about funding opportunities for public-private partnerships. 

The program concluded with a status update on the preparation of the Big Science Business Forum, which will take place in October 2026 in Maastricht. The BSBF is the biggest event bringing together industry and Big Science organisations, facilitating collaboration. Further information and updates will be communicated via the newsletter.
