Launch Health~Holland International Life Sciences & Health Strategy 2024-2027

We are happy to share that the Health~Holland International Life Sciences & Health Strategy 2024-2027 has been launched today. Let's look forward!

The Netherlands is Europe’s Connected Life Sciences & Health Metropolis, where companies, universities, research institutions, and health providers bring innovation in Life Sciences & Health (LSH) to life. The Dutch entrepreneurial spirit has historically been driven by a commitment to innovation and an open, international approach to trade. Particularly in the field of LSH, the Netherlands has gained a strong reputation. Global challenges around an ageing population, sufficient healthcare workers, overall affordability, and global disrupting health threats, ask for innovative solutions.  

This is where the Dutch LSH ecosystem has to jump in, not only for the Netherlands, but also to impact health around the world. At the same time, the Netherlands can learn a lot and benefit from innovative solutions and approaches in other countries. The Health~Holland International Strategy 2024 – 2027 focusses on exactly these opportunities, to maximize the impact of the Dutch LSH ecosystem on the global level and improve the Dutch ecosystem with lessons and knowledge from around the world. 

The main ambition of this strategy is to foster economic growth through internationalization efforts in the LSH sector, enabling companies of all sizes to thrive in the Netherlands and impact the health of people on the global level. Through this strategy three interconnected activities are brought together: trade, innovation, and investments. 

‘If we want to further strengthen the Dutch economy and enabling companies of all sizes to thrive in the Netherlands and impact the health of people on the global level, we must act with an international perspective.’ - Len de Jong, Top Team member, Top Sector Life Sciences & Health (Health~Holland)
