House of Biohealth

What House of Biohealth does

House of BioHealth is a private, owner-operated healthtech innovation hub and purpose-built real estate facility located in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, inaugurated in February 2015. The company operates roughly 18,000 m² of combined infrastructure — approximately 10,000 m² of modular GMP-compliant laboratories (offered in 101 m² reconfigurable modules) and 8,000 m² of office space — connected by a covered circulation area known as Cloud Street. The facility hosts approximately 40 innovative companies spanning life sciences, biotechnology, medical devices, digital health, clean-tech, and ICT, and provides shared scientific equipment (microbiological safety cabinets, incubators, centrifuges, autoclave, ultra-pure water systems), conference and meeting facilities, and a co-located restaurant. The organisation is positioned as a plug-and-play incubator with personalised onboarding, and is embedded within Luxembourg's national research and innovation infrastructure, including formal proximity to the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), the University of Luxembourg, LIST, IBBL, and the Luxinnovation/Fit4Start accelerator pipeline.

The underlying business model is recurring monthly rental of modular physical space, priced at €25/m²/month for laboratories and €22/m²/month for offices (excluding 17% VAT), with customised quotes for multi-module configurations. Tenant acquisition is sales-led via direct outreach, the company website (hobh.lu), LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram presence, ICT Spring conference participation, and structured referrals from Luxinnovation and Fit4Start. The customer base is overwhelmingly small and early-stage — startups, research spinouts, and a handful of enterprise anchors (Siemens Healthineers, NSI, BIONEXT LAB, LLUCS). The company does not disclose revenue, is not funded by external institutional investors, and is led by CEO and co-proprietor Jean-Paul Scheuren. A major expansion project, the HE:AL Campus — a planned 140,000 m² phygital campus adjacent to the existing site — is the primary forward-looking growth vector, with a dedicated vehicle, Hive Services, created to develop its network and digital platform services.

Core offering

House of BioHealth is a purpose-built innovation hub in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, that rents modular GMP-compliant laboratory spaces and flexible office facilities to biotech, medtech, clean-tech, and ICT companies. It operates as a plug-and-play incubator providing shared scientific equipment, common facilities (restaurant, conference rooms, meeting spaces), and a collaborative ecosystem of approximately 40 healthtech tenants within nearly 18,000 m² of combined infrastructure.

Product overview

House of BioHealth operates as a healthtech/biotech innovation hub and real estate provider rather than a traditional software product company. Its core offerings consist of physical infrastructure: modular laboratory spaces (with GMP-compliant options), flexible office spaces, and a plug-and-play incubator for early-stage companies. The facility hosts approximately 40 companies across life sciences, ICT, and eco-technology sectors. A major expansion project (HE:AL Campus) is planned to create a 140,000 sqm phygital campus. The organization also facilitates networking and ecosystem connections but does not offer standalone software products or APIs.

Direct peers

• LabCentral: Non-profit life sciences incubator in Cambridge, MA providing shared lab and office space to early-stage biotech startups. Closest comparable to HoBH in mission (plug-and-play GMP-capable lab space for healthtech startups) and tenant profile.
• Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JLABS: Global network of life sciences incubators offering modular lab and office space to biotech, medtech and digital health startups. Directly comparable concept (no-strings-attached incubator infrastructure) operating at greater geographic scale.
• Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC): Operator of large-scale innovation campuses providing flexible lab, office and coworking space to startups and growth companies across multiple sectors including life sciences. Comparable plug-and-play shared infrastructure model.
• MBC BioLabs: San Francisco Bay Area life sciences incubator offering turnkey lab and office space to early-stage biotech startups. Closely analogous plug-and-play incubator concept targeting healthtech founders.
• BioBAT Innovation Center: New York City life sciences incubator offering affordable lab and office space to early-stage biotech and medtech companies. Comparable mission of lowering infrastructure barriers for emerging healthtech ventures.

Broad incumbents

• Alexandria Real Estate Equities: Largest US REIT focused on mission-critical life sciences laboratory and office campuses. Operates at vastly greater scale than HoBH but competes for the same category of life sciences tenants and validates the lab-property business model.
• Wexford Science & Technology: Developer and operator of purpose-built innovation districts and lab/office campuses anchored by universities and research institutions. Comparable in developing ecosystems combining research institutions with private-sector tenants.

Regional players

• Biopôle Lausanne: Swiss life sciences campus hosting ~150 biotech, medtech and digital health companies in purpose-built lab and office facilities. Highly comparable European life sciences campus model, though serving a different national ecosystem.
