, Rotterdam
Nederland

There are more than 400 Life Sciences & Health companies and (care) organizations located in Rotterdam. Did you know that we have a market share of 10% in the Netherlands and are one of the leading Life Sciences & Health networks in the Netherlands?

In addition to this group of companies and organizations that only focus on Life Sciences & Health, there is of course also a very large network of IT organizations, employment consultants and, for example, design agencies that help shape and develop this sector. The Life Sciences & Health sector is therefore not only one of the largest employers in the city, but also one of the most important economic sectors for the Rotterdam region.

Strong Sector in the Netherlands
