Welcoming international delegations to the Eurasanté Park
Throughout the year, Eurasanté regularly welcomes international delegations with the aim of introducing them to the regional health sector through meetings with various people at the Eurasanté Park.
Here are the international delegations that we have welcomed since the beginning of 2023:
The Eurasanté Park welcomed a Japanese delegation with representatives of the Hyogo region and experts from Japan (notably JETRO: Japanese para-governmental foreign trade organisation) and DS Avocat, a specialist in business rights in Japan.
The delegation was coordinated by the CCI and the objective was to present the Hyogo region and its assets to companies from the Hauts-de-France region interested in the Japanese market.
The delegation also wanted to visit the Eurasanté Park. It was an opportunity to discover how Eurasanté works and the support we offer to regional and international companies wishing to set up in the Hauts-de-France region.
The Kobe Biomedical Innovation Cluster (KBIC) is located in the Hyogo region: the largest biocluster in Japan! The KBIC representatives were able to discuss with Eurasanté in order to study the possibilities of collaboration between Eurasanté and the KBIC.

Visit from a Spanish delegation made up of representatives from the Andalusia Region and the CCI (CCI International Hauts-de-France and the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Madrid).
On 31 May, CCI International Hauts de France and Eurasanté welcomed to the Bio-Incubator a delegation from the French-Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Madrid and a representative from the Andalusia Region/Junta de Andalucía.
The programme included:
- A meeting and tour of the Eurasanté business park, an opportunity to discover the potential of the healthcare sector and to envisage future synergies between Hauts-de-France and Andalusia.
- Information workshop for companies from our region on healthcare market opportunities in Spain, in partnership with Business France Spain.
A few key figures about the Spanish market:
- 4th largest healthcare market in the EU.
- No. 1 for the development of clinical trials in Europe.
- 6th largest pharmaceutical producer in Europe (with very strong growth over the last two decades).
- 4th country in the EU with the highest number of senior citizens (there are almost 13 million over-60s).
- A springboard for the Latin American market.
There are many market opportunities: an ageing population, biotech, renovation of medical equipment, digitisation and massive investment plans in healthcare (plans to build 59 hospitals and 513 retirement home projects – INVEAT plan / High Technology Equipment Investment from 2021 to 2026: EUR 140 billion)…
Andalusia is Spain’s most populous region, with 8.4 million inhabitants:
- 49 public hospitals and 57 private hospitals. The largest public hospital network in Spain and one of the largest in Europe.
- The country’s leading pharmaceutical market.
- A very dense ecosystem: Spain’s 3rd biotech region and the dynamism of Granada, the leading technology park specialising in life sciences.
Through the reception of these delegations, Eurasanté seeks to promote the park’s research laboratories and companies.
