On 15 May 2024, we had the pleasure of welcoming our Minister of Health, Pia Dijkstra, for a visit. We provided insights into our operations, and subsequently, engaged in discussions regarding strategies for addressing and preventing medicine shortages in the future. It proved to be an inspiring and educational day for all involved. We extend our gratitude to all the companies whose contributions made this visit a success.
We commenced the day by offering an overview of Pivot Park’s activities and its mission as a biopharmaceutical campus. Marcel Broecks from Aspen API also addressed the gathering, sharing insights from his experience and offering perspectives on topics such as solutions for medicine shortages and promoting sustainable healthcare.
The visit concluded with a dialogue between the minister and representatives from lifescience companies, including Ardena, Acerta Pharma/AstraZeneca, Aspen API, BioConnection, Organon, Pivot Park, and Synthon. Discussions centred on essential themes for ensuring sustainable healthcare, such as supply chain security, solutions for medicine shortages, the Dutch business climate, and the innovation capacity of life science companies.
