Innovation during a transition can be difficult. Sometimes challenges can be too complicated to tackle on your own. The Protein Community (TPC) is a safe environment where you can partner up on your ideas and find inspiration from each other. We do this by providing the right support and by creating a mix of cross-sectoral organisations working on the same topic.
The Protein Community is the biggest protein community from The Netherlands. Worldwide, we have more than 100 TPC partners. As TPC partner, you’ll enjoy many benefits, such as matchmaking services with inspiring partners, capital, facilities, and in-depth events. Are you part of The Protein Community yet?
