Global Growth - Health Sweden

The Swedish market is interested in new digital solutions that will make healthcare more efficient and provide "more care per invested SEK". Areas like out-of-hospital care, with remote monitoring of patients and on smart solutions that streamline the care process and increase quality in the meeting with the patient, are of interest. A growing focus is also related to AI and data-driven care.
Norway and Sweden face similar challenges when it comes to the health sector with an increasingly aging population, significant differences in access to healthcare between urban and rural areas, and the need to be able to deliver more services with fewer resources. At the same time, increased digitalization is taking place throughout society and digital innovation can be the solution to many of the challenges the health sector faces.
Who should participate
This program is designed for Norwegian companies that operate in the health sector and are in a growth phase. The focus is on companies that have innovative digital solutions within welfare technology, "out of hospital care" and other preventive solutions for health and elderly care.
A prerequisite for participation is that the companies must have a proven track record in doing business with customers in Norway (or another country) and can demonstrate a strong reference case. Participating companies must also have a stable financial situation and personnel resources to grow internationally and be committed to the program.
What you will benefit from the program
Participating companies will gain knowledge about the Swedish health market and get important insights in how to succeed in doing business in Sweden.
The aim of the program is for participating companies to gain a clear understanding of the market's needs, the buyers' working methods and requirements, and to have the opportunity to build relationships with relevant actors via the visits to Sweden.
In addition to the general program individual coaching and support to each company is included.
