Alliances & Cooperations

As a development and application company, KeyGene is constantly looking for new opportunities to collaborate with other research organizations to fuel its innovative research programs.

This results in a large list of projects in which KeyGene participates or has a leading role, varying from EU programs, Dutch subsidy projects and strategic alliances with companies or institutes.

A list of the current activities of KeyGene outside its internal research program is presented.
