Japanese biotech company Human Metabolome Technologies (HMT) opened a European Office in Leiden. The office will be part of the Leiden Bio Science Park. HMT develops metabolomics technologies for drug discovery, diagnosis and food production. The Mayor of Leiden and the Dutch Ambassador of Japan attended the opening ceremony.

HMT chose the Netherlands because of its central European location. The company will be able to receive samples from clients around the world. The Leiden Bio Science Park was also an advantage for the company.

“InnovationQuarter and NFIA have provided excellent support for the setup of our European office in beautiful and friendly Leiden,” said HMT Managing Director Tsutomu Hoshiba. “Their timely and pinpoint guidance made for an easy entry and now we are ready for business.”

Life Sciences Cluster in Leiden
The Leiden Bio Science Park was a major factor in HMT’s decision to expand to the Netherlands. The park includes a university, medical center and other biotech companies.

“We are pleased that HMT has chosen the Leiden Bio Science Park as the location for their European office,” said Mayor of Leiden Henri Lenferink. “With their advanced metabolomic analysis technology, HMT will be a valuable addition to the Leiden life science cluster.”

The Netherlands has more than 2,500 life sciences companies and research organizations. Some of these include Amgen, Medtronic, Genmab and other multinationals. HMT will have access to 12 research universities and 82 hospitals in the Netherlands.

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.

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

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".
