Mission & vision

Bio-incubator Leuven is the touchstone of biotechnology in Flanders. It is fully dedicated to biomedical life sciences and offers opportunities for both start-ups and established companies. The Bio-incubator provides multifunctional ventilated office and lab space, as well as general and technical, logistical and environment-technical support, to young R&D intensive companies with high growth potential in life sciences.The Bio-incubator underlines the commitment of KU Leuven and VIB to actively and diligently pursue the innovation opportunities created and generated by its researchers.

Bio-incubator Leuven is situated in the Arenberg Science Park, housing many ICT and other high-tech companies. In response to the increasing demand for specialised incubation space in the life sciences sector, the existing facilities are being expanded with a third building. These three Bio-Incubator buildings each have several modules that offer state of the art laboratory and office facilities. For the construction of the second and third Bio-Incubator building the European Regional Development Fund has contributed 1,970,470 euro and 1,222,090 euro respectively.
