This requires establishing strong collaboration and engagement between basic research at universities and hospitals, start-ups, and the life sciences industry.

As part of the partnership, BII and the Lundbeck Foundation expect to support a total of 20–22 companies over a period of 5.5 years. The center will be integrated into BII.
