DIGITAL HEALTH BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN FRANCE
As the second largest healthcare market in the EU, France offers interesting opportunities for healthcare solution providers. The Covid pandemic has acted as a real booster in the adoption of digital solutions in healthcare, for example in telemedicine: the number of teleconsultations grew from 40 000 in February 2020 to 4 000 000 in April 2020. The French recovery plan dedicates 2 billion euros for digitalization of healthcare.
Demand for innovative digital solutions is growing in areas like telemedicine, outpatient care, remote healthcare and home care of chronically ill and elderly people, personalized and preventive healthcare as well as early detection and diagnosis of diseases. The use of AI in health care is also developing very rapidly in France.
Join this webinar to hear more from local experts about the French healthcare market and business opportunities.
The one-hour webinar will be followed by an optional 30 min small group Q&A session with our local expert, allowing you to ask more specific questions. The dialogue session is aimed at Finnish companies that already have specific questions and/or further plans regarding the French healthcare market.
