Health~Holland Update: Crossing Borders – the vital importance of international collaboration
As no other country The Netherlands recognizes the importance and impact of trade, knowledge exchange and foreign investments for the Dutch economy and society. Internationalization is essential for realizing the ambitious missions of the mission-driven top sectors and innovation policy of the Dutch government. The Netherlands, as Europe’s connected life sciences and health metropolis, has a lot to offer to the world and possesses a favorable innovation ecosystem and business climate for foreign companies.
In the past few years, the Internationalization strategy of Top Sector LSH focused on an in-depth approach to further support developments and create opportunities for the Dutch economy and society. This includes among others: collaborations built by the introduction of Memoranda of Understanding (MoU's), the HHINT Kickstarter call for Public-Private Partnerships, and in collaboration with our partners Task Force Health Care and HollandBIO, providing information to the sector about international markets, visits to foreign countries, trade fairs and much more!
