Join the Dutch Pavilion at the world’s leading medical technology trade fair
The MEDICA in Düsseldorf is the most important platform for suppliers of medical technology. It offers Dutch startups and SMEs in the Life Sciences & Health (LSH) sector the opportunity to expand their international network and connect with customers and stakeholders from over 170 countries. The NL Health~Holland Pavilion serves as a strong collective presence for the Dutch sector — and your company can be part of it!
Health~Holland support for startups and SMEs
HealthHolland will support startups and SMEs attending the NL Pavilion at MEDICA 2025 with a voucher of €1,000 per company.
Startups and SMEs are essential for realizing the ambitious missions of the Mission-driven Top Sectors and Innovation Policy of the Dutch government. To support their international growth, HealthHolland offers vouchers to make it easier for these companies to participate in global exhibitions like MEDICA.
The €1,000 voucher nearly covers the cost of the compulsory media package — making participation even more accessible for early-stage companies.
What to expect at MEDICA 2025?
The NL Health~Holland Pavilion will showcase a broad range of Dutch innovations in the LSH sector, thanks to the presence of participating Dutch companies and organisations. Networking activities and events will be hosted at the Pavilion to increase exposure and foster new international connections.
Preliminary Program

More networking opportunities will be communicated to participating companies closer to the event.
