Abstract
In this contribution, the Ghent green biotech innovation district in highlighted. Belgium has firmly established itself as an international red biotechnology, i.e. pharmaceutical and healthcare applications - country, with a world class biotechnology industry in the Flanders and Wallonia bioRegions. But what about green biotechnology? This contribution explores the long-standing evolution of the green biotechnology cluster in the bioRegion of Flanders (Belgium), in particular in the Ghent innovation district. It shows that triple helix (Business – Government – Academia) and public private frameworks provide good practices for new green biotechnology entrepreneurial ventures in conjunction with the strategic alliances with large global companies. Fruitful collaborations with top level university research institutions and cluster organizations such as the Flanders Institute of Biotechnology (VIB) enhance R&D-investments and result in new spin-offs.
