The name Lifeport for the region around Arnhem and Nijmegen is no coincidence. Our region stands for a vital and sustainable life. Here, a large number of organisations and companies work together in an ecosystem for healthcare innovation. The theme of the Health Valley Event: Transition in Health Care is therefore tailor-made for Lifeport. The changes in care that are urgently needed are being developed here.
In the words of Economic Board director Jan van Dellen: "In Lifeport, we work together with knowledge institutions, business and government on preventing the need for care, improving the quality of care and organising smarter. With, for example, digital solutions to guarantee continuity of care. These are spearheads where we are leading."
