Belgium’s Role in Healthcare Modernization
Belgium presents an attractive opportunity for Dutch companies in the Life Sciences & Health sector due to its well-organized and innovative healthcare system. The country’s strategic investments in healthcare modernization, particularly in smart medical devices and integrated digital platforms, continue to drive demand for Medtech and digital health solutions. The compact nature of Belgium’s healthcare networks makes it an ideal testbed for Dutch companies aiming to scale their innovations within real-world care settings. This makes Belgium an appealing market for Medtech entrepreneurs from the Netherlands looking to explore commercial and collaborative possibilities [1].
The United Kingdom’s Post-Brexit Innovation Landscape
Post-Brexit, the United Kingdom remains committed to establishing itself as a hub for health innovation. With the National Health Service (NHS) seeking digital solutions to alleviate workforce pressures and accommodating an annual budget allocation of over £36 billion for health tech, the UK offers substantial opportunities for Dutch SMEs. The focus is on scalable solutions in areas like remote monitoring, AI-driven diagnostics, and homecare support, positioning the UK as a fertile ground for technological partnerships that improve healthcare delivery [1].
Ireland: A Dynamic Ecosystem for Life Sciences & Health
Ireland’s healthcare sector is undergoing significant transformation with an emphasis on digitalization and efficient service delivery to meet the needs of its ageing population. Supported by an open innovation culture and a collaborative business environment, Ireland offers Dutch companies substantial opportunities in Connected Health, Medtech, and Healthy Ageing.
