RAI Amsterdam is healthcare sector aware and supports the Amsterdam Life Sciences and Health network. Amsterdam Convention Bureau can connect you with partners and the City of Amsterdam to create value, share innovation and make a resounding impact that contributes to every event mission.

The Dutch Life, Science, and Health sector thrive on innovation and collaboration, characterized by exceptional hubs and clusters supported by world-class physical and digital infrastructure. The Dutch strategy aims to demonstrate the harmonious coexistence of scientific excellence, affordable healthcare for patients, and sustainable economic activity. Through a "quadruple helix" approach, which brings together knowledge institutions, industry, government, and citizens, sustainable and forward-thinking solutions are pursued. With over 3,000 innovative LSH companies, 400+ biopharmaceutical companies, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and thousands of MedTech companies, all within a 2.5-hour radius, the Netherlands boasts one of the most concentrated LSH clusters worldwide.

This is a multipurpose venue which hosts conferences, exhibitions, concerts and other pay to enter leisure entertainment events. This will be reflected in sales and marketing messaging and in our opinion should not distract bookers looking to use the venue for healthcare meetings and events.
