Join us at the Women’s Health Innovation Summit, taking place in Boston, MA, on September 23-25.
The summit is the leading platform for key industry players in women’s health and femtech to accelerate innovation, investment, research and partnerships, to improve the access and quality of healthcare for women worldwide.
From reproductive health to menopause, the Netherlands is working hard to strengthen women’s health, offering new opportunities for investors, companies, and other stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem. Meet with NFIA’s Yvonne Kemps and Tom Vos during the summit to learn more.
As a leader in life sciences and health, the Netherlands has assigned women’s health as a strategic priority. Situated at the heart of Europe, with a vibrant innovation ecosystem, the Netherlands is the ideal location for establishing global or European operations in Women’s Health.
From the IUD and the NuvaRing to today’s innovative solutions for women’s health issues, the Netherlands leads in women’s health research and clinical trials capabilities.
In March 2024, the Dutch Ministry of Health announced funding for more research into health problems that only affect women through the Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development (ZonMw). ZonMw funds research projects focused on women’s health, including studies on reproductive health, breast cancer and cardiovascular disease.
The ambition for a national women’s health plan was first demonstrated through a symposium for Organon’s 100th anniversary on International Women’s Day in 2023 (Toward a National Women’s Health Plan in the Netherlands, Organon, 2023).
Read how MSD spin-off Organon launched in the Netherlands in 2021 and how the global company celebrated 100 years of contributing to women’s health by opening an experience center in the Netherlands on International Women’s Day in 2023.
