Are you considering doing business in Indonesia, Malaysia and/or Thailand or are you already active in these countries and do you want to boost your business in these markets? Join this unique virtual trade mission (June 28 – July 1), aimed at increasing your knowledge about and establishing new connections with this region.
Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia offer many opportunities for the Dutch Life Sciences & Health (LSH) sector, also in these digital times. Meet stakeholders from the so-called ASEAN region who, like you, want to collaborate on Life Sciences & Health. This mission offers you the opportunity to broaden your knowledge in an accessible way and provides you with new contacts through targeted individual matchmaking. You will create a solid foundation for your business to get off to a flying start as soon as physical visits are possible again.
This mission is the first activity of the multi-annual public-private programme (SMM) focused on positioning the Dutch LSH sector in South East Asia. The corresponding activities build on existing market knowledge and entries from the Dutch government and Task Force Health Care. Based on the needs of the Dutch LSH sector, in-depth follow-up activities are facilitated.
Why ASEAN-3?
- The introduction of universal health care, the growing middle class and medical tourism in the ASEAN region results in high demand for both public and private care;
- About 80% of medical devices in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand are being imported;
- Covid-19 boosted the need for digital solutions significantly. All ASEAN-3 countries are looking for smart solutions for remote care;
- The ASEAN region is characterized by the large disparities between care facilities in rural- and urban areas. Dutch solutions in the field of infrastructure and digital care can help reduce these disparities;
- All ASEAN-3 countries are struggling with the challenges of an ageing population and a shortage of medical staff. Therefore, they are eager to improve the efficiency of health care.
