Hans Hofstraat

Per September 1, 2023 I have started as Director Business Development Life Sciences (part-time) with the Foundation Utrecht Science Park and the Strategic Theme Life Sciences, in which the local knowlegde institutes are joining forces. I am committed to strengthening the Life Sciences ecosystem at the Utrecht Science Park, amongst others by connecting, attracting and establishing innovative public and private parties at the Utrecht Science Park, leveraging the excellence in education and research within the Utrecht Life Sciences institutes.

I am impressed by the excellence and breadth of the Life Sciences ecosystem at the Utrecht Science Park, and particularly by its focus on implementation of solutions with proven impact on society. It is my aim to contribute with my knowledge and experience by strengthening both the team of the Strategic Theme Life Sciences and that of the Foundation Utrecht Science Park.

Next to my role at the Utrecht Science Park I am, amongst others, active as Entrepreneur-in-Residence in The Institute of Cancer Research in London, as advisor to the Healthcare Transformation Academy and to a number of other initiatives in the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Health, as independent consultant and as member of the Advisory Council of the Dutch Top Sector Life Sciences & Health.
