Proudly I present to you the Annual Review 2016 of the Task Force Health Care (TFHC). In many ways 2016 was a special year for the TFHC; we celebrated our 20th Anniversary, we became an independent employer, we moved to our new office and presented our new TFHC Chairman.

The TFHC was founded in 1996 as a platform for industry, government and research

institutions, with the aim to improve healthcare in emerging and developing economies

with sustainable and demand-driven Dutch healthcare solutions. At the time we

stated ‘’Working Apart Together’’ nowadays - after many years of joining Dutch forces -

our slogan is ‘’Improving Healthcare Together”.

In 2016, the TFHC organised and developed a wide variety and diversity of activities for

the Dutch Life Sciences & Health (LSH) sector. Among others: Health Missions to China,

India, Indonesia, Colombia, Iran, Germany, Australia and New Zealand; a Fact-Finding

Mission to Kenya; Holland Pavilions at the Medica, CMEF and Arab, Holland Stands at the

eHealth Week, Technology for Health and Building the Future of Health; Incoming Visits

from Brazil, China, Colombia and Russia; and Publications such as the Health~Holland

Guide, the Export Support Report and the International Opportunities Report.

On top of this the TFHC managed six Working Groups focusing on Africa, China, India,

Indonesia, Russia and the Middle East. These groups have been renewed with the aim

to increase the accessibility to join, the response-time-to-opportunities and the effective-

ness, read more about this on page 15.

During our 20 years of existence (TFHC 1996-2016) we have proudly seen our healthcare

sector climbing towards the top of ‘’Dutch Topsectors’’, with worldwide recognition as a

result. In order to celebrate this milestone we created the ‘’World of Healthcare (WoHC).’’

“A Congresstival for the key players in the Life Sciences & Health sector with a global view”

WoHC marks an important milestone in the (inter)national success of TFHC and the

Dutch Topsector LSH. With over 250 Attendees, 30 speakers in multiple sessions and

1.800 m2 of interaction the ‘’congresstival’’ the WoHC was a reflection of the growing

international success of the Dutch Topsector LSH.

Due to the growing demand in activities, TFHC has experienced a rapid transformation

into an independent and financially healthy organisation, while simultaneously main-

taining a good cooperation with FME (which has contributed substantially to the success

of the TFHC). With pride I handed over the TFHC chairman’s position to Len de Jong

during the partner meeting (at WoHC). With Len de Jong (CEO of Enraf Nonius) as TFHC

Chairman, accompanied by an energetic and dedicated board, I am confident the TFHC

will continue its successful growth.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the growth of a 2-man

initiative, established in 1996, to a healthy not-for profit organisation consisting of 10

ambitious professionals. In particular, my cooperation with our managing director Peter

Post has developed into a true friendship. Last, but not least, I would like to thank His

Majesty King Willem Alexander, for awarding me the royal decoration ‘’Knight in the

Order of Orange-Nassau.’’ A huge honour, which made me completely speechless.

As always, the TFHC will look forward with great optimism and continue its positive

trend together with you and all our partners!

Preface


JanuaryHolland Pavilion Arab Health | UAEFrom the 25th to the 28th of January 2016 the TFHC organised, for the 5th time, the

Holland Pavilion at the Arab Health in Dubai. The Arab Health is thé medical trade fair

for the Gulf region. Participants of the Holland Pavilion had the opportunity to promote

their products and services and had the opportunity to receive international guests.

To further capitalise on business opportunities within the Gulf region the TFHC devel-

oped a specialised platform; TFHC Middle East.

The Task Force Health Care (TFHC) supports and facilitates companies and organisations in international business. Through various TFHC activities business opportunities arise which are normally hard to expose. Besides trade missions to many countries, the TFHC regularly receives incoming delegations and together with the Dutch Topsector Life Sciences & Health (LSH) unifies in a Holland Pavilion at medical trade fairs. Furthermore, TFHC develops various promotional and marketing activities to promote the Dutch LSH sector on a national- and international level.

individual guidance, better insights in healthcare stakeholders and market opportunities,

valuable (inter)national connections and various workshops the participants are support-

ed and accelerated in entering new markets. For several entrepreneurs, this hands-on

support and exchange of contacts and experiences have already led to concrete and

successful business cases. For example, a pilot project in Indonesia, a business partner in

Turkey, a (re)structured approach to international business, new business in Germany,

contact with high-level UK officials, direct contact with Colombian decision-makers,

thorough market review of the Nordics and many other small ánd big successes which

paved the way to successfully implement innovations in foreign markets.

“Together with the TFHC we participated in a

variety of international activities. We started

in 2013 and are now partnering with the 2nd

largest healthcare insurer in China!”

Boris Stam, Partner at NIHW

“Unfortunately, TNO experienced a significant decline in

support from public funds in recent years. Our interna-

tional business activities partly compensate for this loss

and compromise approximately 30 % of TNOs total

revenue (€550 million). Needless to say, entrance to TFHC’s

extensive international network is of great importance for

our organisation [to improve access to our target groups].”

Jan Michiel Meeuwsen, TNO Country Manager Turkey

“The openness and approachability of the Holland Pavilion

raised our interaction with potential foreign investors and

distributors. TFHC offers perfect opportunities to show-

case our products to the international market, which

already resulted in numerous partnerships worldwide.

Our success at the Holland Pavilion Medica 2015 led to a

chain reaction resulting in a salient expansion of our

export activities.”

Jacques Verheij, Dockx Product & Sales Manager

“Thanks to the Task Force I was able to

pitch my product during several trade

missions. This really put me on the radar

and a major foreign hospital and elderly

care organisation expressed interest in

VARI-STEPP”.

Leon Damen, Owner of VARI-STEPP

“TFHC is our vehicle to communicate between B2B

and B2G. The TFHC is the perfect method to channel

our problems/barriers to the government.”

Guido Geerts, President & CEO of Delft Imaging Systems

“It was during the trade mission in South

Africa that we found local partners. These

kind of communal activities are of high

value when entering a new foreign market.’’

Erik Jan Vlieger, CEO of INCISION

“During the mission to the US last year

Topic got in touch with CEO’s, directors

and other high-level managers of several

US companies which were open for their

innovative solutions. In fact, the company

obtained numerous projects in North

America via these activities.”

Eric van der Laak,

Director Projects Topic Embedded Systems “The TFHC partnership shows that your

company values cooperation, and are

willing to collectively put The Netherlands

on the map in international healthcare.”

Rolof Mulder, Creater & CEO Hospitainer

“We recently joined the Holland Pavilion at

the Arab Health in Dubai. The foundation

for our export strategy has always been a

long term cooperation with a local distribu-

tor. For ‘first timers’ on a foreign market,

these Holland Pavilions create an easy entry

to potential foreign distributors. After two

years, our export activities already cover the

majority of our total revenue!”

Bert Dommerholt, CEO of DOVIDEQ Medical


JuneTrade Mission + Holland Pavilion | ColombiaFrom the 26 June to 2 July the Holland House Bogota, the Ministry of Health Welfare

& Sports organised in cooperation with the TFHC a trade mission to Colombia. In total

export barriers? These kind of questions and many others are analysed in the latest

edition of the annual TFHC International Opportunities Report. This research report is

specifically published for the Dutch Life Sciences & Healthcare (LSH) sector. The

results of this study help to ensure that the interests of the Dutch LSH sector are

brought to attention of policy makers in The Hague and Europe. In addition, the research

Task Force Health Care (TFHC) has various platforms with a geographical focus which you as Dutch healthcare organisation can join and benefit from! TFHC Platforms are neutral, accessible and yet exclusive for partners who aim to be more effective, efficient and success-ful in identifying opportunities, following-up on leads and executing healthcare projects.

TFHC Platforms03

Through the TFHC Platforms, the TFHC provides and facilitates knowledge-sharing,

cooperation, collaboration, coordination and combines Dutch healthcare forces.

These platforms consist of various partners like the Dutch government, private sector,

knowledge institutes, civil society organisations and healthcare providers. With the

additional uniform Holland Branding and coordinated collective activities TFHC

Platforms Partners receive tailor made support. In 2016 the following TFHC Platforms

were active around the globe: TFHC Africa, TFHC China, TFHC Indonesia, TFHC India,

TFHC Russia and TFHC Middle East. In 2017 TFHC will expand its international activities.

New TFHC Platforms / Central contact points regarding activities in Europe, Latin

America and the United States will be established.

Concluding, this new approach leads to the empowerment of TFHC partners, new

business opportunities, new (inter)national connections, a central knowledge- and

contact point and powerful (inter)national influence and (re)presentation.


TFHC Indonesia Chairman: -

Vice-Chairman: Eduard Boonstra

Programme Manager: Gerrit van der Schouw & Erik Pentinga

Since 2013 Indonesia introduced a new policy aimed at improving health care. TFHC

Indonesia has been structurally realising activities with Indonesia and surrounding

regions. TFHC together with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and the Dutch

Embassy in Jakarta organised an economic mission to the Republic of Indonesia with

a dedicated health sector programme. Indonesia is the fourth most populated country

in the world. Achieving Universal Health Coverage is one of the national priorities.

In parallel, the private health sector is expanding rapidly. Therefore TFHC Indonesia

provides a platform for a broad alliance of organisations and other institutions

which are active in the international healthcare sector. Today, this platform consists

of 10 organisations.

TFHC Middle EastChairman: Mohammed El Sayed

Vice-Chairman: Michael Simon

Programme Manager: Jennifer Schrage

The healthcare sector in the Middle East is undergoing rapid and profound changes.

During the last ten years this trend has been more visible than ever. Middle Eastern

countries can certainly benefit from the vast experience in healthcare within The

Netherlands. TFHC Middle East provides a platform for sharing knowledge and the

combining of Dutch strengths within the LSH sector. Trade missions, seminars and a

Holland Pavilion at the Arab Health form an active healthcare programme. This platform

currently consists of 7 organisations.

TFHC AfricaChairman: Arthur ten Have

Vice-Chairman: Hilbrand Haak

Programme Manager: Erik Pentinga

TFHC Africa has been created to strengthen the understanding of- and the connection

with various multilateral institutions and related stakeholders. This platforms is nowa-

days is in close contact with the Dutch government, the embassies in various African

countries and global health institutions in Washington D.C.

Partners work closely together to explore opportunities for innovative and sustainable

developments in the health sector. Additionally, the platform allows for stepping up

cooperation with national and international donors / investors. The TFHC sees a

tremendous opportunity to accelerate the development of healthcare by embracing

innovations in services, products and in the application of innovative private-private

and public-private partnership models. For example, in 2016 the TFHC and Kenya

Healthcare Federation in Nairobi have been commissioned by the Netherlands Enter-

prise Agency (RVO) and the Dutch Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Nairobi

to perform a market study on the healthcare sector in Kenya. The complete market

study is available on the TFHC website.

TFHC ChinaChairman: Thijs Teeling

Vice-Chairman: Len de Jong

Programme Manager: Suze Kruisheer

TFHC China currently consists of 12 organisations. Numerous activities have taken place

during 2016, such as: a Holland Pavilion at the China Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF)

in Shanghai, 2 incoming visits of Chinese healthcare delegations from Sichuan and

Guandong, 2 trade missions (China and Hong Kong). Due to structural interaction

among TFHC Partners and foreign stakeholders these activities offered many oppor-

tunities for the Platform partners and released positive energy for an active healthcare

programme. Furthermore, TFHC Platform partners have the possibility to ‘hire’ and

‘utilise’ the TFHC (Programme Manager) on-request to develop, coordinate or execute

specific tasks*. This enables small collectives to quickly and accurately follow-up or

pick-up (theme specific) market opportunities.

* Tasks include visitor programmes, health and fact findings missions, writing and

coordinating PIBs / DHIs, thematic seminars or other supporting activities.

TFHC RussiaChairman: Thijs Teeling

Vice-Chairman: Mark Sluiter

Programme Manager: Thierry Aartsen

Despite geopolitical tensions the TFHC remains focused on maintaining the established

relationship with Russian partners. TFHC Russia provides a platform for sharing

knowledge and the combining of Dutch strengths within the LSH sector. In 2013 the

Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation in The Netherlands, together

with 12 Dutch organisations signed the covenant Partners for International Business:

‘’Task Force Healthcare goes Russia.’’ The aim of this covenant is to secure good access

to the Russian healthcare market and on increasing Russian awareness of the high

standard in the Dutch healthcare sector. Dutch companies united in the TFHC can,

thanks to the efforts of the central government, strengthen their position in the Russian

market. Currently, this platform currently consists of 8 organisations.

TFHC IndiaChairman: Len de Jong

Vice-Chairman: Sander Vorselman

Programme Manager: Thierry Aartsen

TFHC India, consisting of 7 organisations, have created a special focus on India and its

surrounding countries. Indian healthcare is in a truly unique place at this point of time.

The positive and negative are at a constant interplay. At one end they have taken giant

strides to establish themselves as a highly skilled medical ecosystem with excellent

clinical outcomes, as well as a very powerful value proposition. But this is counter-

balanced by a massive disease burden, tangible dichotomies in delivery and a huge

infrastructure crunch. In March 2016, TFHC organised a healthcare mission to India

(New Delhi) with a strong focus on the larger private healthcare groups in India. These

private hospital groups are going to double their capacity in the upcoming five years.

TFHC delegation was a special guest during the annual NATHEALTH Event 2016, the

healthcare federation of India. In the presence of dignitaries from the Indian health-

care sector Dutch companies had an excellent opportunity to network and show their

collective accomplishments.

06 | Facts & Figures

Number of PartnersAfter a restart in 2008 TFHC experienced a healthy growth

(Dec. 2016: 116 partners) in the last years. Currently, the TFHC

represents a total of 61.425 FTEs and a total turnover of €31.7

billion. While maintaining the quality of its national- and inter-

national network, the TFHC aims to continue this growth curve

and intensify its position as a knowledge centre for the Dutch

LSH sector in general and TFHC partners in particular.

Despite the fact that the TFHC network grows in diversity, simul-

taneously more cohesion is being created. Various ‘strengths’

and ‘chains’ of the Dutch Life Sciences & Healthcare sector are

becoming more and more visible. For example, the growing

number of eHealth companies, knowhow in the field of ‘public

health’ issues, expertise in the field of elderly care, rehabilitation

and home care, and not to mention the field of medical devices.

The Dutch LSH sector is estimated at more than 2,200 organi-

sations (companies, NGOs and research institutes etc.) of which

over 70% is active in international business. Meanwhile, TFHC

national- and international activities have facilitated in excess

of 500 LSH organisations in the past 8 years.

Number of FTE’sDespite very limited resources TFHC always strives to deliver

the highest quality of service. Not the financial valuation, but

the enthusiasm of the team, the board and in particular the

partners forms the driving force to create a transparent and

supportive platform.

Number of ActivitiesProportional to the growth in enthusiasm, FTEs and the number

of partners, the amount of activities is also increasing. Last

year, 26 TFHC activities took place including: General Partner

meetings, Holland Pavilions, Trade Missions and Incoming

Visits. In addition, TFHC hosted the very first edition of the

World of Health Care event. In the impressive Fokker terminal

(The Hague) more than 250 healthcare professionals from

large and small companies, care providers, NGOs, knowledge

institutes and government visited the event to discuss chal-

lenges in accomplishment of international business. Moreover,

TFHC has been present in a various other conferences, seminars

and other activities on national- and international level to

represent the Dutch Life Sciences & Healthcare sector and to

promote the interests of the TFHC partners.

TFHC Activities

TFHC FinanceThe TFHC is a public-private partnership and is privately initiated

and financed. The TFHC receives no structural financial aid.

However, the TFHC is regularly commissioned by the govern-

ment to organise activities beneficial to the Top Sector LSH

(especially SMEs). Despite being a foundation, the TFHC sees

herself as a “social enterprise” which is financially self-sufficient

in a sustainable manner within the framework of its mission.

For several years the TFHC enjoys a solid and healthy financial

status. Maintaining this healthy structure during expansion is

key to the management and board of the TFHC. Additionally,

the TFHC anticipates on opportunities that arise in a constantly

changing environment in which the needs of the partners in

relation to the ‘mission’ maintain the starting point.

In 2016, the TFHC generated a total revenue of € 1.152.778, the

corresponding table provides a display of the revenue sources.

TFHC Online Last year, the focus on online presence was intensified with the

completion of a new website and customized webpages for

TFHC platforms. By intensifying Marketing research and Social

Media activities positive results have become clear with regard

to online presence. This approach will therefore be continued

in the coming years.
