10 years Pivot Park: Pivot Park
Pivot Park has become an essential location for biopharmaceutical innovation and drug discovery in Europe. The latest addition to Pivot Park is an eight-floor multitenant office and lab space, and the shell of the next building is already up. This additional accommodation is a testament to the steady, continuous growth of Pivot Park.
“It was a revelation for me. As Accountants, we usually look back at the end of every year. But to work with partners in Life Science we needed a change of mind set. We wanted to collaborate and facilitate more, to help our clients achieve their goals. We think along with our clients and help them build healthy, growing companies.”
10 years Pivot Park: 3D-PharmXchange
François van Och, one of the three managing partners, explains: “By offering independent strategic project management, you are a credible advocate for clients and their projects. This creates synergy between the disciplines and intensive collaboration with the parties we work for. And that’s important for an effective time and cost-efficient process.”
10 years Pivot Park: Oncolines
“Oncolines is a subsidiary of the Netherlands Translational Research Center (NTRC), the company I started in 2012 with my MSD/Organon colleague Rogier Buijsman,” says Zaman. “From 2012 to 2021, NTRC worked on new technologies to help develop novel drug candidates. These include a cancer cell line panel and bioinformatics analysis tools. We used these technologies to support our in-house drug discovery but also to provide services for clients. Over the years, NTRC has developed so fast that we decided to separate the precision medicine services and to expand it further as Oncolines.”
10 years Pivot Park: Arnold & Siedsma
Arnold & Siedsma have been located at Pivot Park since the life science park’s inception. The specialist patent company helps start-ups and established companies to register and protect their intellectual property rights. “This is vital to obtain further financing and to continue to innovate” explains Petri van Someren, a partner in the company.
Ten years ago, Gerjan Kemperman expected that the demand for CDMO services would increase enormously. So when Organon/ MSD left Oss in 2012, he and a colleague started the company ChemConnection at Pivot Park to ‘fill the gap’ and offer development and manufracturing services of active pharmaceutical ingredients to biotech companies. A good decision as his company, nowadays called Ardena, has grown rapidly.
