Combined forces at the Hid

Health care is facing major challenges. Bringing innovations to the clinic. Affordable medicines. Tailor-made therapy. Increasing demand in the face of significant staff shortages. And finding answers to these issues depends on us joining forces.

At the New-West Health & Innovation District (the Hid) in Amsterdam, work is carried out daily on innovative therapies and medicines for patients. The Hid focuses entirely on the fields of transfusion medicine, hematology, immunology and oncology and is therefore unique in the world. Start-ups, scale-ups, pharmaceutical parties, and knowledge institutes are working together here to translate fundamental medical scientific research into practical applications, making healthcare better and more affordable throughout the world.
