How This Event Supports Your Growth

United Kingdom
The United Kingdom offers a large and innovation-driven healthcare market, with strong demand for MedTech and digital health solutions. The NHS plays a central role in healthcare delivery and continues to seek innovations that improve efficiency, support workforce capacity, and enhance patient outcomes. During the session, a Dutch organisation active in the UK will share experiences and reflections in a moderated discussion. For Dutch Life Sciences & Health organisations, this creates opportunities to engage with a single-payer system while navigating structured procurement and validation pathways.

Ireland
Ireland presents a dynamic and growing LSH ecosystem, driven by healthcare transformation and increasing digitalisation. An ageing population and focus on more efficient care delivery create demand for MedTech, digital health, and integrated care solutions. During the session, a Dutch organisation active in the Irish healthcare market will share experiences and reflections in a moderated discussion. For Dutch organisations, Ireland offers an accessible market with a collaborative business culture and openness to innovative healthcare technologies.

Pitch Training
Strong communication is essential when engaging international healthcare stakeholders. During this interactive workshop, participants will work with experienced pitch and communication experts to strengthen their elevator pitch for healthcare audiences.
The session focuses on the key elements of effective healthcare communication, helping participants sharpen their core message and translate complex innovations into a clear and compelling story. Through practical exercises and active participation, participants apply proven communication principles directly to their own pitch.
