More than 20 years of business-academia collaboration
The originality of BioLiège is to gather not only academic units but also biotech companies. All major trends in modern biotechnology are represented. human medicine, pharmaceutical industry, diagnostic toxicology, veterinary medicine, agriculture and plant biotechnology, water treatment, waste management, biodegradation control, textile industry, foodscience, etc...
A dozen of biotech companies have settled in the Liège area, some of them being spin-offs of the University laboratories. Most of them are located in Liège Science Park, close to the University campus. This proximity encourages cross-fertilization between industrial and academic research and it also allows collaboration for teaching mainly at the post-graduate level.
