The programme provides targeted access to decision makers, hospitals, agents, distributors and knowledge partners. Colombia has proven to be a success story for those taking a leap into this quickly developing and expanding healthcare sector. Want to know why?

• Success stories of Dutch LSH companies entering the Colombian market, story 1 & story 2.

The Netherlands and Colombia have a comparable health system and high-quality hospitals.

It is expected that the LSH sector in Colombia will grow strongly in the coming years, especially when it comes to the expansion of hospitals. This offers opportunities in the area of hospital design, build and equipment, but also for the development of eHealth and mobile solutions in rural areas.

Trading partner and customer

50% of medical tourism in Colombia comes from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This makes the Kingdom not only an interesting trading partner, but also a Colombian health customer, reason for the Colombians to look closely to developments and innovations in the Dutch health sector.

What to expect?

Seminars and networking events, field visits, individual matchmaking, trade dinners and signing ceremonies in the presence of high level Dutch and Colombian (healthcare) stakeholders.
