A go decision has been taken for this mission. Last spots are available. The registration for this mission will close at the end of July.

India’s large population, growing healthcare infrastructure, increasing demand for innovative medical solutions, as well as its strong emphasis on research and development collaborations make it an attractive market for Dutch organizations. Seize the potential of India’s digital healthcare revolution and benefit from progressive government policies like the National Medical Devices Policy.

The upcoming annual LSH mission to India offers Dutch organizations that are active in India a chance to enhance current partnerships, refresh market insights, and solidify their position. It also supports Dutch organizations venturing into the Indian market by improving their understanding of the Indian market, evaluating market potential, and initiating important connections and collaborations.

The program for this four-day mission consists of collective engagements and individual B2B meetings in both Bangalore and Hyderabad. Based on a personal intake, local expert Sathguru Management Consultants facilitates three to four individual matchmaking appointments per city with important stakeholders, including major hospitals, diagnostic labs, Indian corporations, startups, and distributors to optimize collaboration opportunities. The mission program will be developed and tailored towards the needs of the participating delegation members.

The LSH mission to India is a unique opportunity to expand and scale-up your business in India. It also provides the opportunity to explore market potential for your organization in India. Participating organizations receive ample networking opportunities with Indian policy makers, business partners, incubators, accelerators, and specialists in the LSH sector. The mission provides detailed information on the Indian healthcare market, including laws and regulations, as well as business opportunities. Participate in workshops and discussions on recent developments and opportunities in India’s healthcare market. You can also sign potential contracts, a letter of intent or a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the network events, creating extra visibility for your project or investment.

This mission is initiated by Task Force Health Care as part of a long term public-private collaboration towards India. Annual healthcare visits to India have been organized over the past decade.

The Health Attaché of the Netherlands will be present during the mission to represent the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare & Sport. The Dutch Economic Network supports the visit and co-organizes collective visits. The Embassy in Delhi, the Counselor for Health, Welfare & Sport, the Consulate General in Bangalore, and the Netherlands Business Support Office in Hyderabad are all keen to share their insights and collaboration opportunities.

Individual matchmaking and overall support to the program will be provided by Sathguru Management Consultants, a market leading advisory firm across LSH segments in India. Sathguru enjoys the advantage of in-depth knowledge of the Indian landscape and a high quality network with companies in India.

The participation fee includes taking part in the collective program and site visits, individual matchmaking, networking events, lunch and dinners when included as part of the program, and local support by the organizing parties.

The fee excludes travel and accommodation costs (such as hotels, international and domestic transport) and all individual costs, such as lunches and dinners outside the program and for individual meetings.
