Launch TFHC Healthcare Market Study Texas
In Texas there is a fine line between business opportunity and social responsibility. Due to the free market principle and the -enormous- financial resources available in health, there’s an unprecedented business/social drive to innovate and make dreams come true. This provides opportunities for Dutch health companies, start-ups and research organisations. To expose opportunities TFHC North America, together with the Netherlands Business Support Office Texas, prepared a market study on behalf of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).
By providing an overview of the healthcare system, healthcare market, and healthcare infrastructure in Texas, the TFHC Healthcare Market Study highlights priorities, opportunities, and challenges of their healthcare market. In addition, the market study provides information on historical and current trends, financial considerations, and practical information for Dutch organisations and companies interested in the Texas market.

Life Sciences & Health Mission Saudi Arabia
The Netherlands Embassy in Riyadh and Task Force Health Care joined forces to organise the Life Sciences & Health Mission to Riyadh & Jeddah, Saudi Arabia which took place from the 9th to 13th of September.
Twelve Dutch companies participated in the 4-day explanatory mission in Saudi Arabia, which is the largest and fastest growing healthcare market in the region and is estimated to reach $40 billion by 2020. Due to the rapid growth, the government is encouraging the private sector to meet the increasing demand, also the introduction of comprehensive insurance coverage will encourage private investments in the sector.
The Dutch business delegation visited various (private) hospitals, Dr. Sulaiman Al-Habib, SaudiGerman and Sulaiman Faqih. They were very impressed by the The Dr. Sulaiman Al-Habib Hospital as it is the first private digital hospital with the state of the art medical facility in Saudi Arabia.
The memorable part of the mission was The Global Health Exhibition at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center. It is Saudi’s premier healthcare business platform with seven country pavilions including China, The Netherlands, Turkey, Pakistan, USA, Poland and UK.
The exhibition and the hospital visits were valuable as it provided excellent opportunities for the business delegation in terms of meeting new relevant business contacts and learning more about the Saudi Arabian Life Sciences & Health sector.
