Why?

China is the second largest economy in the world and the Netherlands is its third-largest European trading partner. China’s rapid urbanisation, income growth, and aging population, have caused a rise of non-communicable diseases and resulted in a significant expansion of the Chinese healthcare demand. The Healthy China 2030 strategy focuses on the shift from treatment to prevention and improving the quality and efficiency of China’s healthcare system. Health Technology, including Artificial intelligence (AI), is considered to be one of the key instruments to achieve this goal.

The Chinese government’s commitment to improving healthcare under the Healthy China 2030 program, coupled with an aging population and increasing wealth, has created a thriving ecosystem for life sciences innovation and investment. From the Netherlands there is a strong interest in exporting innovative medical devices, e-health, and the Dutch expertise on elderly care to China. The rapid growth and digital transformation of China’s LSH sector is presenting significant opportunities for Dutch companies.

What to expect?

During this webinar, you will get informed about the latest trends and developments in China’s LSH sector through multiple perspectives. With interactive presentations and Q&A sessions, you will gain insights into how the market has evolved and gain perspective on challenges and opportunities in the LSH-sector in China.
