Health~Holland International Strategy
Given the importance of trade, knowledge sharing, and foreign investments for the Dutch economy and society, internationalization is crucial to achieving the ambitious goals set by the mission-driven top sectors and innovation policy of the Dutch government. Therefore, the renewed internationalization strategy has the overarching goal of enhancing the competitive strength of the Dutch Life Sciences and Health (LSH) sector. This document provides the opportunity to take concrete steps aimed at the necessary support for the LSH sector, focusing on export, attracting foreign investments, and fostering international collaboration in R&D and innovation.
Collaboration Health~Holland and Task Force Health Care
Health~Holland and Task Force Health Care have joined forces to strengthen international collaboration and innovation in the healthcare sector. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing healthcare innovation and promoting the Dutch healthcare sector as a global leader.
An important component of this collaboration is the joint organization of various activities throughout the year. These activities provide information regarding the opportunities for the Dutch LSH sector in the priority countries/regions and the thematic interests. Together with the Dutch regional networks, sessions are organized to offer the support and tools to shape your international activities and ambitions in a sustainable manner.
Large strategic events
To promote the global visibility of the Dutch LSH sector, Health~Holland and Task Force Health Care also organize large-scale strategic events. A standout example is the collaborative engagement in strategic important exhibitions, including the MEDICA in Düsseldorf. At the request of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), we will jointly organize the 14th edition of the NL Health~Holland Pavilion.
Another example is the yearly Health~Holland Visitors Program, where high-level decisionmakers from around the globe are invited to the Netherlands to increase their knowledge of the renowned Dutch healthcare system. Part of this program is the World of Health Care, where Dutch LSH entrepreneurs get the opportunity to meet this delegation and to exchange knowledge and experiences.
