We translate research results into new products, agricultural innovations, medicines, and therapies that improve lives.

The VIB Discovery Sciences team focuses on making specific expertise available to promising projects in VIB labs that are amenable to translation.

VIB provides significant support for the growth and development of the life sciences cluster in Flanders.

New spin-offs are an important way to translate the results of VIB research into practical applications. Moreover, starting biotech companies in Flanders have a huge impact on our local ecosystem: not only do they attract inward investments, they also create jobs. By anchoring intellectual property and knowledge in our region, start-ups play a major role in society.
