South-East Asia | Seizing new LSH opportunities in ASEAN

The demand for healthcare solutions in South-East Asia is strongly increasing. Significant opportunities arise for Dutch Life Sciences & Health companies to help improve care in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. Through a new strategic programme, you can meet Key Opinion Leaders in the so-called ASEAN region, learn about current developments in the area, and promote your solutions there.

Trends and challenges 

Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam are facing multiple challenges that contribute to the rising demand for healthcare solutions. Think of ageing populations, shortages of medical staff, and a rising burden of non-communicable diseases. In addition, there is a growing middle class, medical tourism, and the implementation of Universal Health Coverage policies. 

What kind of solutions are required? Not only is the medical device market growing rapidly: there is also a strong need for integrated eHealth solutions as well as physical health infrastructure. To present the ASEAN region with solutions to their challenges, Task Force Health Care and Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) coordinate this Strategic Multi-Annual Market Approach programme (SMM). 

This 2-year programme aims to…

• promote and position Dutch Connected Care solutions strategically 
• facilitate new and existing partnerships 
• create favourable business conditions by reducing trade barriers 
• establish a positive impact on the Sustainable Development Goals 

Increase your business in the region by… 

• presenting your solution under the banner of a national public-private programme 
• getting connected to relevant counterparts in the public and the private sector 
• gaining extensive knowledge of the LSH sector in the ASEAN countries 
• being part of a network of like-minded entrepreneurs who share experiences 
• providing input on which (common) trade barriers should be addressed

About TFHC
Established in 1996, Task Force Health Care (TFHC) is the platform for the Dutch Life Sciences & Health sector. Our not-for-profit platform supports Dutch companies, NGOs, knowledge institutions, healthcare providers and governments to realize their international ambitions in the LSH sector. TFHC actively represents the interests of the Dutch LSH sector to the Dutch government. For South-East Asia, this has resulted in TFHC being designated as the private partner in the new public-private partnership programme Strategic Multi-Annual Market Approach (SMM), launched by RVO in 2020.
