Utrecht Science Park at Innovation for Health 2026 

We are proud to have Innovation for Health 2026 in Jaarbeurs Utrecht and host the Global Investor Forum at the Utrecht Science Park.  

Utrecht Science Park will, like this year, be present at Innovation for Health in 2026, together with several partners from the Utrecht region: CPBT, Biotech Boosterr, Oncode Accelerator, RegMed XB, Utrecht Heart of Health, ROM Utrecht Region. 

Utrecht Science Park is a fertile breeding ground for innovations in life sciences and healthcare, with leading scientific institutes, the largest concentration in the Netherlands of hospitals – including UMC Utrecht and the Princess Máxima Center – and numerous pioneering life sciences companies such as Genmab, Merus, Danone and research institutes, like Hubrecht Institute. With both large and small organizations all within walking distance, Utrecht Science Park fosters a collaborative and thriving ecosystem. We are excited to contribute to shaping the future of healthcare through our unique and strong network. 

That this event will come to Utrecht from 2026 is the result of joining forces between several regional parties, including Koninklijke Jaarbeurs, Utrecht Science Park, the ROM Utrecht Region, the municipality of Utrecht and Dutch Health HUB and National Growth Fund Programmes based in Utrecht. The Utrecht region, also known as the Heart of Health, has a large concentration of knowledge in the life sciences and health sector, with various knowledge institutions, hospitals, research institutes and innovative R&D companies and startups.
