    About P3Dx

    Pandemic Preparedness by Pathogen Detection (P3Dx) is a Dutch innovation program focused on developing effective test innovations. These new testing solutions are designed to be rapidly deployable during future pandemics and hold value in non-pandemic times as well. By fostering a robust innovation ecosystem, P3Dx creates technological, economic, and societal opportunities.

    To better prepare for future pandemics, we need faster, scalable, and cost-effective testing methods supported by a strong infrastructure. P3Dx addresses this need by building an ecosystem and advancing test innovations that improve development speed, test quality, cost efficiency, and broad applicability.

    Importantly, the program also stimulates economic potential by exploring non-pandemic applications of these technologies. Test innovations can benefit a range of sectors that require pathogen testing—from healthcare to agriculture and beyond.

    P3Dx brings together knowledge institutes and innovative companies working on next-generation testing methods. By connecting public and private organizations, the program cultivates an ecosystem that accelerates innovation and identifies new areas for application.

    P3Dx focuses on the following pillars

    Boundary conditions
    Clear guidelines are essential for pandemic testing methods. P3Dx defines technical specifications and boundary conditions for implementation and accessibility.

    Test innovations
    P3Dx advances test innovations along two key tracks. First, it develops a workflow for a scalable, high-volume pandemic test laboratory. Second, it supports companies with developing lab-independent testing solutions through a pre-commercial procurement (PCP) process.

    Ecosystem
    P3Dx is building an infrastructure in which companies and public organizations work together effectively on test innovations and their application during pandemic threats and beyond.

    Organisation program

    P3Dx is a three-year program running from 2024-2026, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. The program is coordinated by TNO (Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research), and research findings are shared broadly, both within the Netherlands and internationally.

    The program brings together a diverse group of partners, including universities, academic and applied research institutions, health organizations, and industry stakeholders. It is open to both established players and newcomers in the fields of testing, innovation, policy, and science. New participants are welcome to join throughout the program’s duration.
