Longer days, brighter weather, and plenty of momentum across the VIB Innovation & Business ecosystem. In this summer edition, we celebrate the people behind the progress, spotlight emerging opportunities, and follow the latest developments across our partnerships, spin-offs and wider ecosystem. 

Over the past months, what stood out to us most was not just the pace of progress, but the diversity of ways in which ideas are moving forward. In this Spring 2026 edition of Innovation & Business Signals, we’ve curated the moments that caught our attention: from breakthrough science gaining global recognition and spin offs reaching key milestones, to collaboration opportunities we’re genuinely excited to explore together. 

2025 was a year of strong momentum across VIB’s spin-off portfolio and partnering activity, while policy and AI developments continued to reshape the European biotech landscape. This edition is a curated recap of the signals that mattered most – a quick scan, not a full archive.
