India is an important strategic partner for the Netherlands, both economically and geopolitically. With a rapidly growing healthcare market and strong government investment in infrastructure, digital health, domestic manufacturing and medical technology, India offers relevant opportunities for Dutch MedTech companies and organisations working on digital health and digitalisation solutions.
At the same time, the Netherlands has internationally competitive strengths in MedTech, supported by strong regional innovation ecosystems and key enabling technologies.
Within the Market-Theme combination MedTech India, Task Force Health Care (TFHC) and Health Holland – in close collaboration with NLWorks, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and the Netherlands Economic Network – are developing a roadmap towards structured, multi-annual public-private collaboration between the Netherlands and India.
The MedTech India Roadmap initiative involves the coordination and execution of the development of a strategic roadmap that will form the basis of a multi-annual public-private program focused on strengthening the international positioning and earning potential of the Netherlands MedTech sector in India.
The activities are aimed at developing a broadly supported strategy based on market validation, public-private collaboration, and joint prioritization. Dutch companies, knowledge institutions, ecosystem partners, government stakeholders, and relevant Indian stakeholders will be actively engaged throughout the process.
Are you exploring opportunities for medical technology or digital health solutions in India? You are invited to join one of four regional roundtable sessions in the Netherlands this December to learn more about the India–Netherlands Medical Technology Roadmap and share perspectives on the market.
Together with Dutch companies and ecosystem partners, the sessions will explore where opportunities lie, discuss market-entry challenges and identify priorities for future collaboration. Participants’ input will help shape a practical, market-driven roadmap and inform follow-up activities in 2027.
Nico Schiettekatte, Counsellor for Health, Welfare and Sports at the Netherlands Embassy in India, will join the sessions to share the latest developments in India and discuss market opportunities and challenges with Dutch companies. The sessions are interactive and intended for Dutch MedTech and digital health companies, including SMEs, as well as relevant ecosystem organisations. Each session will last approximately 90 minutes, followed by an opportunity to network.
