It is our challenge to promote the interests of the Science Park and all its users and to put the Utrecht Science Park on the map nationally and internationally. Another goal is to realize establishment opportunities for companies active in life sciences and sustainability so that optimal interaction is possible between companies and healthcare and knowledge institutions and research institutes.”

Willem van Waesberghe

Willem van Waesberghe, Global Head Brewer at Heineken Company! This man is responsible for the taste, texture, and smell of the beer we all so much enjoy. Making an IPA, lager, or even a good tasting 0.0% beer is quite complex and requires many steps, ingredients, and people to align correctly. Being global head brewer of Heineken Willem has to make sure these components are all in place so the beer tastes the way it should, all over the world. In addition to this, he discusses and refines new recipes. The brewing process is very dependent on the right chemical and microbiological conditions. Did you know, for example, that Heineken has its own yeast strain? What pH should a barley-based beer be? This and many more questions might be answered by the geochemistry alumnus and head brewer of Heineken, Willem van Waesberghe.
