BIUP vs. DTL

The BIUP ambition is to further professionalize, be more active and visible in the field, and increase the group of supporting and organizing companies. The DTL ambition is to also increase company participation and enlarge the DTL Industry platform as a whole. A stronger interaction will enable both parties to achieve these goals! Last but not least, it will open new perspectives for companies to become involved in ELIXER-NL activities

BIUP vs DTL interaction and ambitions

BIUP vs. DTL

BIUP as a community will become affiliated to DTL as part of the DTL Industry Platform BIUP will continue to focus on informal discussions between companies BIUP will in the future also act as a consultative group for DTL DTL will support BIUP in the organization of events and communication around BIUP activities DTL and BIUP encourage all parties to become DTL member, yet a DTL partnership is not required to participate in BIUP events

In practice …
