About unlock_

unlock_ – part of startup incubator PLNT Leiden – is where Life Science and Health entrepreneurs, startups and scale-ups in the Netherlands crack open global health problems. At the Leiden Bio Science Park, unlock_ provides the startup support, structure, programs, network and the instruments you need to turn an idea into a solution.

Startups at the Leiden Bio Science Park find the keys for making humanity healthier; solutions that have a huge effect on all our well-being. These could be drug innovations, but also medical instruments, or a new technology that doesn’t exist yet.
