Dutch Health Week 2024 from 8 to 14 April

Utrecht, 8 June 2023 - Dutch Health Week, the largest festival for health, care and life sciences, will take place in 2024 from 8 to 14 April. Royal Jaarbeurs announces this with edition 2023 from 12 to 17 June still to come. During Dutch Health Week, Jaarbeurs and the city of Utrecht are packed with events for citizens and professionals in healthcare and life sciences. It is buzzing with seminars, network meetings and conferences.

"In 2024, Jaarbeurs will again be dedicated to accessible care and health for all for a week," says Jeroen van Hooff, CEO Royal Jaarbeurs. "I am proud that together with the City of Utrecht, FC Utrecht and Utrecht Marketing, among others, we are organising an inspiring festival where high-quality innovations will be presented and the latest knowledge and insights will be shared. New in 2024 is that the Zorgtotaal trade fair will split into two new healthcare titles, Zorg & Food and Zorg & Facility. This split will give healthcare professionals more clarity on what is on offer at the fair, the content programme and the innovations on show. We still have Dutch Health Week 2023 ahead of us, but I am already looking forward to the 2024 expansion."

 

Utrecht, Heart of Health

"Utrecht is strongly positioning itself nationally and internationally as the region of health. An event like the Dutch Health Week fits in seamlessly with this. We see that more and more partners commit to this week by organising events during this week in the city and even beyond. This creates a recurring, broad health festival in Utrecht where tens of thousands of people find inspiration and pleasure. We see its strength precisely in the growing mix of programming for and by health professionals, residents, innovative companies, artists and sports associations. We warmly welcome that and will continue to support it," said alderman Eva Oosters (Events).

"Utrecht is the place to be for Dutch Health Week," adds Utrecht Marketing director Cor Jansen. "During one week, over fifteen thousand healthcare professionals come together to share knowledge with the aim of creating a healthier and more sustainable world for everyone, This offers a huge opportunity for the region to strengthen Utrecht's position as the 'Heart of Health'. Dutch Health Week connects healthcare professionals with innovation-driven companies and world-class knowledge institutions. I am convinced that in this way we can accelerate the sustainable transformation of healthcare."

Dutch Health Week 2023

For a week from 12 to 17 June 2023, Utrecht will be the place where some fifteen thousand healthcare professionals will participate in twenty healthcare events. This makes Dutch Health Week the largest healthcare event in the Netherlands in 2023.

Dutch Health Week is an initiative of Jaarbeurs, which works closely with the municipality of Utrecht, Utrecht Marketing, ROM Utrecht Region, Traiectum Sportcampus, FC Utrecht and numerous other parties. Dutch Health Hub compiles the programme.

Care & ICT, the largest health tech event in the Netherlands, is a partner of Dutch Health Week 2023, taking place on 13, 14 and 15 June 2023 at Jaarbeurs.
