The Virtual Delegation focuses on bridging Danish exporters with Korean potential partners and healthcare professionals. During the virtual delegation, Danish companies will have the opportunity to present their services and products to a variety of strategic stakeholders in Korea, including industry experts, researchers, hospital management staff, and Korean companies and distributors.
In response to the pandemic, the South Korean government has recently launched the ‘Korean New Deal’ for getting the economy up and running post COVID-19 by utilising the market forces. Thanks to an effective ‘testtrack-treat’ approach enabled in large part by the country’s high level of digital development, as well as citizen cooperation, South Korea has managed to keep the number of cases and fatalities impressively low, while at the same time keeping the country and its businesses open.
The New Deal consists of three parts, one of which is the ‘Digital New Deal’ aimed at expanding the field of digital technologies and AI in healthcare and government. As a part of the Digital New Deal the Korean government plans, among other things, to build 18 ‘smart hospitals’ which through the use of AI, 5G and IoT will enable real-time monitoring of patients and create the foundation for an increasingly interdisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Why Join?
With an allocated budget of 38.5 trillion KRW the Digital New Deal holds the promise of rapid innovation as well as plenty of opportunities in the tech and health-tech industries. Thus while private healthcare spending is expected to decrease for a time in response to COVID-19, the government’s investment in the Korean New Deal will provide a significant boost to the sector, creating plenty of opportunities for companies working with digital solutions to healthcare problems, hospital equipment, and innovation in health care in general.
