Kievit Scientific LLC was founded in 2021 to help technology ventures and small to mid-sized companies in life science and primary industries take realistic, manageable steps into international markets.
For over 30 years, I have been engaged in business development and subsidiary management in Japan, Europe, and the United States, working with reagents, biotech, and medical devices. The firsthand sense of “what actually happens on the ground” that I have gained through these roles is the foundation of Kievit Scientific.
Today, we operate from two bases:
Philadelphia, a major life science hub, and Astoria, Oregon, a region strongly rooted in primary industries. From medical and healthcare technologies to solutions for agriculture, fisheries, and aquaculture, we focus on connecting technologies to real-world fields and use cases.
Even if you are only at the stage of thinking, “We’re interested in overseas markets but don’t know where to start,” or “We’d just like to talk things through first,” you are very welcome to reach out. The initial online consultation is free of charge.
My aim is to help challenges in life science and primary industries take root as technologies that are “used as a matter of course” in real settings around the world. Kievit Scientific will continue to support each step of that journey with care.
