Health~Holland Pavilion at BIO-Europe Spring a great success

More than 100 Dutch entrepreneurs joined Health~Holland in Stockholm

This April the Netherlands hosted a modest but attractive Health~Holland Pavilion at the BIO-Europe Spring in Stockholm. This leading partnering event turned Stockholm into a global biotech hotspot for a week.

Thanks to the striking Health~Holland Pavilion and more than 100 Dutch participants who wore eye-catching orange key-cords, the Dutch presence did not go unnoticed. At the Pavilion, the Netherlands presented itself as an attractive country for establishing a biotech company, as an innovative business partner, and as a successful location for R&D.


The 'Biotech-in-the-Spotlight Corner', powered by 3D-PharmXchange and Pivot Park Screening Centre, gave individual Dutch companies the chance to present themselves at the Pavilion. And as always, the Pavilion served as a living room away from home for all Dutch delegates.

Iran

From 10 to 13 April Task Force Health Care and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency organised a Life Sciences & Health Programme for an SME trade mission to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

On the last day an official trade dinner completed a fruitful visit to Iran.
