Partners
In Utrecht, government, knowledge institutions, businesses and citizens work together on health and innovation – not as a theme, but as a new ecosystem of “urban living” in a healthy living environment. They are the beating heart of a healthy society and contribute as much as possible to healthy change in Europe and the world. They are the European hub for healthy society. They are leaders at the intersection of life sciences, tech and health. They choose health as the engine for innovation and earning power. They are Utrecht, Heart of Health.

Our strategic partners

Strategic partner
Province of Utrecht | MRU
King's Commissioner Hans Oosters: "As the province of Utrecht, we are naturally extremely proud. The Utrecht region is a very attractive area; it is no coincidence that students like to live and work here. This pleasant living environment is partly due to the good cooperation between the authorities and partners in the region.

Strategic partner

Strategic partner
Municipality of Utrecht
We want a healthy economy, with sufficient jobs and entrepreneurs, in which we take care of our living environment and residents. In this way, we not only bring more prosperity and health to Utrecht, but also establish Utrecht as the Heart of Health.

Strategisch partner
Municipality of Amersfoort
Amersfoort and the surrounding region require a robust urban economy to provide sufficient employment opportunities for current and new residents, necessitating the creation of approximately 32,000 new jobs by 2040. The innovative ecosystems Life Sciences & Health and Earth Valley play an important role in this, in which companies and knowledge institutions work together to promote a healthy human and living environment and contribute to the ambition to make the region the healthiest in the world, with an eye for both well-being and economic competitiveness.

Strategic partner
Dutch Railways
More and faster trains, good door-to-door connections and world-class stations. That is what NS stands for. Together with our partners, we want to achieve the best accessibility for cities and rural areas. Even if the train is not the first choice. Sustainable mobility can connect people. That is why NS's Regional Management team engages in early discussions with provinces, municipalities, regions and other partners about new residential areas, office locations and stations. But also about faster connections, innovative concepts for the “first and last mile” and good accessibility to areas where public transport is not always the best solution.
