🚀 Market Opportunities
The Netherlands combines a compact, well-funded domestic healthcare market with unmatched logistics infrastructure (Rotterdam, Schiphol) that makes it one of the best European bases for pan-EU distribution. Its digital health and diagnostics sectors are advanced, and Dutch UMCs are strong clinical partners for evidence generation. A single CE Mark under MDR gives full EU market access, and Dutch English-language proficiency eases early market entry before scaling across the EU.
