2021 Nordic Health Virtual Market Entry Programme – Singapore (CLOSED)
OVERVIEW OF HEALTHCARE LANDSCAPE IN SINGAPORE AND SOUTHEAST ASIA
Singapore is a gateway to Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific. Nordic companies can reach the region by partnering with companies operating in Singapore that already have access to the wider region. Singaporean healthcare providers are actively seeking innovative technology-enabled solutions to transform their public healthcare system and address future healthcare needs for their citizens. With an ageing population and as manpower resources tighten, more innovative solutions will be needed to improve the quality of Singapore’s healthcare provision and delivery while keeping healthcare affordable and accessible for all.
In 2021, Nordic Innovation House Singapore (NIH-SG) continues to build more opportunities for Nordic technology startups, scale-ups and growth companies operating under the Health theme. Our Nordic Health Programme will provide Nordic companies with opportunities to expand their foothold in Singapore and Southeast Asia. NIH-SG shares the mission to bridge Healthtech and Medtech related delegations with Business Sweden, Innovation Norway, Embassy of Finland, Business Iceland and the Embassy of Denmark in Singapore.
Introducing Riku Mäkelä, Counsellor, Trade and Innovation Affairs at Embassy of Finland in Singapore and Board Member at Nordic Innovation House Singapore – sharing more info about the Nordic Health Programme right outside Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the flagship hospital of the National Healthcare Group and part of Singapore’s Public Healthcare System.
