🎶Eurovision Health: Who Tops the Charts in European Digital Health? 📊 See chart below 👇 🇬🇧 When it comes to the number of Digital Health startups the UK reaches Dizzy heights, topping the charts, a contrast to its 18th position in the song contest 🇩🇪 Germany is not far behind reflecting the countries advanced landscape including in part its efforts with digital therapeutics e.g. DiGa 🇨🇭Eurovision winners Switzerland may not have taken the digital health crown but seem to have cracked The Code, and at 3rd place seriously punch above their weight, likely down to their strong biopharma heritage 🇩🇰But note the total number of startups is only one lens, in this chart ‘hosts’ Sweden dominate Denmark but in recent data I saw, Denmark are heavily outspending Sweden in digital health funding - so are likely to close the gap here 🇮🇱 If Israel were included here they would rank 3rd with 72 start ups - reflective of their #1 position in Middle Eastern digital health 🇮🇳 And India while not in the song contest would be number 2 here, with 143, they are the leader of the APAC pack! 🇦🇺Australia didn’t progress on the musical front, but with 75 startups they are second in APAC #DigitalHealth

Luxembourg is a small market that is a suitable launch pad for testing things and trying them out.” - Zied Tayeb, PhD, founder and CEO, Myelin-H Read more about the ideas and important talks that are shaping healthcare’s future in Europe.

Southeast Asia's healthcare sector shows strong growth potential, with Singapore leading in infrastructure and digital health adoption. Other key markets include Malaysia and Thailand's established hospital networks, plus emerging opportunities in Indonesia and Vietnam. A few startups that I am a fan of: Halodoc (Indonesia): Revolutionizing access with video consultations, medication delivery, and hospital bookings for millions. Docquity (Regional): Connecting Southeast Asia’s doctors for knowledge sharing and professional growth. HD (Regional): A healthcare marketplace connecting patients with over 1,500 providers, facilitating easier access to medical services and financing options. These platforms are reshaping healthcare across the region, unlocking better outcomes and redefining care delivery.
