SIRE® Life Sciences, a specialist recruitment, secondment, project management and consultancy firm for the Dutch life sciences sector, has relocated its office to BioPartner 1, right in the heart of the Leiden Bio Science Park (LBSP). The new address is J.H. Oortweg 21, 2333 CH Leiden.
A New Address in the Middle of the Action
BioPartner 1 is the flagship building of BioPartner Leiden, a non-profit foundation that has supported life sciences startups and scale-ups since 1984 (originally founded as the Academisch Bedrijven Centrum). In 2007 it merged with the Life Sciences Incubator Leiden to form the current BioPartner foundation. The building is also a well-known venue for the monthly Life Sciences Café, one of the region's most active networking events for pharma, biotech and medtech professionals.
The Five BioPartner Buildings
BioPartner's portfolio consists of five properties across Leiden and Oegstgeest:
- BioPartner 1 — J.H. Oortweg 21, 2333 CH Leiden (SIRE's new home)
- BioPartner 2 — J.H. Oortweg 21, 2333 CH Leiden

Together, these buildings offer flexible lab space, offices and incubator facilities to hundreds of life sciences companies.
Why the Leiden Bio Science Park Matters
Since its founding in 1984, the Leiden Bio Science Park has grown into the largest and most complete life sciences ecosystem in the Netherlands, and one of the leading clusters in Europe. It brings fundamental research, clinical development and large-scale manufacturing together in one location, in close collaboration with Leiden University and the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). Hundreds of organizations are based on or around the park, from academic institutes such as the Hubrecht Institute and the Netherlands Cancer Institute to international players like Janssen, Thermo Fisher, Bio-Techne and Galapagos.
