Valorization Committee 

The AI&I Valorization Committee

The AI&I Valorization Committee consists of a diverse group of members, including principal investigators, postdocs, PhD students, and members of the Business Development team. This broad composition ensures a good balance between junior and senior researchers, as well as between fundamental research and clinical practice.


The committee develops plans and organizes activities within a framework set by the AI&I Board, ensuring alignment with AI&I’s overall vision and objectives, as well as with the individual research programs. Its main focus is on strengthening valorization, optimizing the role of Dedicated Business Developers, promoting public-private collaborations, and enhancing visibility and knowledge sharing.

The committee also plays an active role in the Amsterdam Valorization Board (AVB), representing AI&I and helping to shape new directions in valorization.
