Welcome to our next Health Business Breakfast event for Health and Life Science companies from the Oulu region, this time organised in cooperation with Business Finland. A tailor-made agenda offers you a unique opportunity to learn more about Poland’s health sector and related business opportunities for Finnish companies.
Poland is the 3rd largest EU country with the highest number of hospital beds, with 231,789 registered. Polish hospitals market is estimated at the level of approx. €42 bn. Polish hospitals will receive significant funding until 2030 as part of broader healthcare modernization efforts. Over €4.4 billion from RRF is specifically allocated to improving healthcare efficiency, availability, and the quality of services, targeting county hospitals and highly specialized medical centers. Driven by the high amount of RRF, EU Cohesion Policy, and Medical funds, the Polish hospital market is transforming to become sustainable, digital, and patient-oriented. This effort will primarily target highly specialized or regional hospitals with approximately 300 entities slated for upgrades or modernization.
Key areas of focus include hospital design, modernization, interior improvements, health technology, robotics, patient monitoring systems, prevention and diagnostic tools and various digital solutions aimed at optimizing hospital operations and improving patient care. This brings new opportunities for collaboration with Finnish health companies that can offer innovative solutions to support Poland’s healthcare modernization goals.
During Health Business Breakfast, Business Finland’s expert from Warsaw, Ms Agnieszka Wrobel (Health, Consumer, General Market Advice) will present ongoing changes in the Polish hospital market and answer your questions about business culture and typical export channels.
