Projects
At PLNT, we bring together innovators and entrepreneurs from the Leiden region. We do this by facilitating programs, but also by setting up various projects that pursue the same goals as we do. Together we look at where and how we can strengthen the city and the surrounding ecosystem. For instance, the initiative of The Field was born in conversation with the City of Leiden, we were involved in the creation of Life Science incubator unlock_, we established PLNT Students in 2022, and we are exploring a similar concept of PLNT in The Hague.
The Field
Next to Leiden Central is our sustainable location The Field. All buildings are circular and contribute to the transition to a clean, sustainable and resilient economy. The result? The city is becoming more inclusive, greener and healthier.
unlock_
unlock_ is the life science health (LSH) branch of PLNT. With unlock_ we offer a community at the Leiden Bio Science Park with programs, the network and the tools to turn an idea into a solution.
Leiden Angel Club
Angel networks such as the Leiden Angel Club help individual angels find co-investors and a carefully curated selection of startups to invest in. They are also a great place to share knowledge and meet like-minded people. Together with Bernd Mintjes, we set up the club for regional “angel investors.
PLNT Students
PLNT Students is the student organization for students interested in entrepreneurship. PLNT Students is for students who have their own business or would like to start a startup. We also provide the tools to explore whether entrepreneurship is for you.
PLNT The Hague
PLNT The Hague is the new entrepreneurial hub of The Hague’s ecosystem. Inspired by Leiden University Campus The Hague, we in The Hague provide space, knowledge and assistance to startups in the region.
Innovation entrepreneurship within LSH
PLNT is working with Leiden based courses on innovative education in the field of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Life Sciences. With this ‘Kansen voor West’ project, we focus on improving existing educational modules, developing new programs and actively involving companies in the educational process.
