NL Digital Showcase LSH | Colombia
WELCOME, BIENVENIDO! We invite you to visit our digital Life Sciences & Health showcase! Over the last couple of years, Colombia and The Netherlands are intensifying their relations in order to foster further cooperation that benefits the health and wellbeing of our societies. Together with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, the Netherlands Embassy in Bogotá and the Holland House Colombia, future steps and activities were identified to further connect Colombian and Dutch healthcare stakeholders and strengthen the existing sustainable healthcare relationships.
With the Dutch and Colombian having similar ‘Managed Competition’ health systems, and through four years (2015–2019) of intense bilateral high-level exchanges in healthcare, the Netherlands has been established as the number one reference country for many key stakeholders in Colombia. Colombia is actively seeking cooperation with Dutch knowledge institutes and innovative companies. Lately, great interest has been shown in the topics of oncology, senior care, nursing, and value-based healthcare.
Please feel welcome at this digital LSH showcase where you can find a wealth of information on the life sciences & health sector in the Netherlands and get connected to innovative companies that are actively looking for partners in Colombia.
