DBI2 is an associated program of NEUROTECH NL, which is part of the top sector Life-Science and Health roadmap. NeuroTech-NL started its activities in late 2016 when world-renowned neuroscientists, clinicians, technical scientists and companies realized that a tight collaboration was necessary to advance innovative solutions for unmet needs in brain health while stimulating economic activity in an ecosystem where the Netherlands was already competitive. DBI2 is a flagship program for NeuroTech-NL and provides a significant impulse to strengthen the cooperation between these experts and achieve this ambitious and comprehensive set of goals.
