Life sciences economy

Healthcare is a crucial sector in Limburg’s economy. Nearly one in five Limburg residents works in the sector; among Limburg women, this rises to one in three. Beyond the demand for qualified personnel, the societal importance of high-quality care cannot be underestimated.

Digitalisation is becoming increasingly important in this sector: according to experts, the digital transformation of healthcare could allow all of us to live five years longer. Successful innovation in healthcare requires close cooperation between businesses, knowledge institutions, the care sector, and government. POM Limburg supports this collaboration, among other things, through the development of the innovation district Health Campus Limburg DC.

Limburg has a unique care and welfare ecosystem, making our province an ideal testing ground for digital innovations. At POM Limburg, we aim to further stimulate these developments. Together with strong regional partners, we focus on both regional and international networking in healthcare innovation.
