We’re excited to announce that the Dutch life sciences community will once again be strongly represented at the Nordic Life Science Days (NLSDays), this year held in Gothenburg on 13–14 October 2025, with the official kick-off on the evening of 12 October and site visits scheduled for 15 October.
Building on the momentum of last year’s success, we’re aiming even higher: more Dutch companies, greater visibility, and broader opportunities to connect with Nordic partners, investors, and innovators. Several Dutch biotech, medtech, and CRO companies are already doing business in the Nordics or even expanding their footprint there, and NLSDays is the key platform to strengthen those ties.
To make the most of this opportunity, we are coordinating a joint trip from Pivot Park. The mode of transport (whether bus, train, or other) will be arranged later. The goal is simple: to travel as one group and make an impact together.
The Dutch Pavilion has been officially confirmed and is being coordinated by the Dutch Embassy in Stockholm (Björn Ursing), RVO, and the regional development agencies BOM, OostNL, ROM Utrecht, Health~Holland, and Health Valley NL.
