IO+ NL spoke with Jan Rietsema and Dan Jing Wu about their ambition to establish Brainport as a leading biomaterials region. Here's a brief summary:   🏅 Dan Jing Wu, in her mid-30s, is at the start of her career in biomedical technology. Trained as a biomedical technologist, she co-founded VivArt-X, a company developing regenerative breast implants. She was recognized as one of the FD Talent 50under35 by Het Financieele Dagblad and listed among the 50 most promising women in the world by the Financial Times. 📈 Jan Rietsema, a physicist with over 30 years of experience, was tasked a few years ago with drafting a business plan for Smart BioMaterials Consortium (SBMC), where he now leads the way. With a development lab at Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and a pilot production facility at the High Tech Campus Eindhoven, he works on building top-tier infrastructure to accelerate the development and production of advanced bio- and biocompatible materials. 🎯 Shared Vision: Together, Dan Jing Wu and Jan Rietsema aim to position Brainport Eindhoven as a global player in the biomaterials sector. To advance their groundbreaking work, both VivArt-X and SBMC rely on support from TWICE Eindhoven, building I high tech I success.
