Team Finland visit to France — digital health, Paris

France, the second largest healthcare market in the EU, has made rapid progress in digitalization of healthcare in recent years, supported by large-scale national investment plans. This has resulted in a great demand for digital solutions across all healthcare sectors. Recent initiatives, including reimbursement of remote monitoring and early access to reimbursement for innovative digital medical devices, strengthen France’s position as a leading market for digital health.
France is the 5th largest health tech export market for Finland, and further business opportunities exist. French healthcare service providers are adopting technologies that support patient pathways as well as clinicians and other health professionals. Demand is also growing for innovative solutions for telehealth, diagnostics and prevention. AI-based tools and solutions are being tested and implemented in all areas of healthcare.
Join the Team Finland visit led by a high-level official from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. The visit is an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with the French healthcare system and the status of digitalization, gain insights into the market, demand, and business opportunities, and explore French market entry. Finnish companies will be able to meet and discuss with potential customers, partners, and decision-makers and grow their network.
