Utrecht, 18 April 2024 - The organisers of the Zorg&'24 trade fairs look back on a busy successful edition with very satisfied reactions from exhibitors and visitors. Royal Jaarbeurs organised two new healthcare trade fairs alongside the Zorg & ict trade fair: Care & food and Care & facility. Together, the trade fairs attracted over 32,500 visitors. With the theme 'Fit for the future', more than 350 exhibitors and 400 speakers inspired visitors about innovations and solutions in the field of digital transformation, sustainable food and facility management.
Care & ict: from the value of data availability to world of AI
At Zorg & ict, the largest health tech event in the Netherlands, healthcare professionals were informed and inspired by smart technologies, innovations, products and services from exhibitors. One of the exhibitors Jan-Willem Heeg of Tinybots says: "We received very direct feedback from visitors, which in turn allows us to learn and make a better product, which also better suits what healthcare really needs." Chairman of the day, tech educator Jim Stolze also looks back with satisfaction. "Future-proof care is about collaboration. Not only between people and people, but also between people and machines. If there is one place where data can make a difference, it is healthcare."
Care & food: contribution of food on patient recovery
Trade fair Zorg & food was entirely dedicated to the future of healthy food. Exhibitor Bidfood: "We have been partners and involved in Zorgtotaal and now in Zorg & food from the beginning. It is great to see how the fair has developed into a high-quality platform. We think it is important that there is a specialised fair for food and drink within healthcare. It is an added value for all healthcare organisations and connected companies to visit this fair and the place where all professionals in this market meet and beautiful co-creations arise."
Care & facility: appropriate care for more patients with fewer people and budget
Healthcare professionals gained knowledge and inspiration on facility issues in the healthcare sector during the Healthcare & Facility trade fair. For instance, healthcare organisations face the challenge of providing adequate care for more patients and clients with fewer people and budget. Exhibitor Okke Vaassen of Miele Professional: "Zorg & facility was the opportunity for us to come into direct contact with our most important target group: healthcare professionals."
The next Zorg&'25 trade fair will take place from Tuesday 8 to Thursday 10 April 2025 at Royal Jaarbeurs during Dutch Health Week.
