From Lab to Bedside

Business Development & Valorization

Accelerating Innovation in Regenerative Medicine

  • At RegMed XB, we turn cutting-edge research, enabling technologies, and novel therapies into viable businesses. Through strategic partnerships with established companies and high-potential start-ups, we help bring regenerative medicine innovations to patients faster.

    TTT Innovation Vouchers for Life Sciences & Health

    The Thematic Tech Transfer (TTT) Program, funded by RVO, is a key component of RegMed XB’s valorization and tech-transfer activities. The TTT Program aims to create investable academic spinoffs in the field of chronic diseases. In collaboration with the Dutch CardioVascular Alliance (DCVA), BioGeneration Ventures (BGV), and leading health foundations: the Dutch Heart Foundation, Kidney Foundation, Brain Foundation, and Diabetes Fund, we strengthen the pathway from scientific discovery to societal and clinical impact.

    We bring science and entrepreneurship together by: 

    • Organizing (Valorization) Community events
    • Educating researchers and policy makers
    • Supporting researchers in commercializing their inventions

    Our Impact Officers actively scout for high-impact research with spinoff potential in the field of chronic diseases and guide research teams through the world of technology transfer and academic entrepreneurship.

    Together with BGV and its fund FIRST II, we review promising projects to identify the key next steps required to build a compelling business case and attract investment for spinoff creation and further development of the technology.

  • Our Valorization Services include:

    • Strategic and business development advice
    • Access to a strong innovation and industry network
    • Financial support through innovation vouchers
    • Guidance on start-up creation and market validation

    We help innovators at every step — from evaluating early business ideas to bringing regenerative medicine solutions to the market.

    What researchers gain through TTT:

    • Expert scientific, entrepreneurial, and strategic guidance
    • Support to assess the clinical, societal, and commercial potential of innovations
    • Preparation for next development steps, including making projects investment-ready

    XS Innovations bringing a new standard to dialysis care

    XS Innovations is tackling a major challenge for people with end-stage kidney disease: keeping their blood vessel access open for dialysis. Most patients need a special connection between an artery and a vein in their arm, called an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), to ensure enough blood flows during treatment.

    Hello R&D sets out to eliminate liver toxicity

    Liver toxicity is the number one reason for drugs to be retracted from the market. More reliable methods for predicting drug- induced liver toxicity will not only save drug development costs by detecting liver toxic drugs earlier, but will also spare patients from potential severe side effects due to liver toxicity.
