CSM, Royal DSM and Delft University of Technology join forces to invest in bio-research

On May 15th The Bioprocess Pilot Facility (BPF) in Delft was officially opened. In this facility process development research can be facilitated in the entire field of biomass pre-processing, biomass pre-treatment, fermentation and downstream processing.

The BPF is an open access facility where other companies, universities, knowledge institutes etc. can execute their scale-up research on bioprocesses. The setup of this facility starts with equipment already existing on the site of DSM, which will be brought in into the Joint Venture where CSM, Royal DSM and Delft University of Technology are participating. Additional equipment and facilities, especially related to the pre-treatment of biomass, will be implemented in the coming 12-18 months. The new company Bioprocess Pilot Facility BV (BPF) is based in Delft and aims at scale-up research and education for next generation bioprocesses.

At the opening event CEO of DSM, Mr. Feike Sijbesma stressed the importance of this top quality research facility in The Netherlands, especially in view of the opportunities that the innovative and sustainable bio- and knowledge-based-economy is providing to The Netherlands.

The site of DSM Delft, where the BPF is located, will be redesigned in the coming period. Cepezed, a Delft based architectural studio, is responsible for the master plan for the site. The permits connected to DSM site allows the users to execute activities in the highest environmental category.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
