The 'valley of death' refers to a point in life sciences innovation where ideas stall when moving from the research lab to clinical development. In the Netherlands, Johnson & Johnson supports Biotech Booster to combat this: jji.jnj/4ra5dpu

Early innovation works best when academic teams understand the 'why' and industry teams see the research, constraints, and care behind the ideas. When they meet in the middle, great things can happen. jji.jnj/4tggtlr
