BAAT Medical in the USA
In September, Gary Antonius represented BAAT Medical during the Dutch royal trade mission to California. The visit created a valuable opportunity to meet long-term partners, including the innovative company Telebionix. It also opened the door to many new connections in the United States. These face-to-face meetings strengthened BAAT’s global network and highlighted the company’s commitment to international growth.
Although the focus of the trip was networking and collaboration, it also aligned with BAAT’s broader strategy. The company will soon announce a new expansion in the United States, which will further support its presence in the American MedTech market. For now, however, the Dutch mission offered a strong foundation for future cooperation.
California Facts
New figures show that the economic relationship between the Netherlands and the United States is stronger than ever, with California (CA) ranking 2nd in the top 10 US states that export goods and services to Holland.
Networking, innovating, spreading knowledge
The Dutch Queen Máxima’s visit to San Francisco, California in the United States, which took place between Sept. 7 and Sept. 9 2022, was part of a the Royal trade mission of more than 100 Dutch companies. They visited San Francisco, Los Angeles and Houston. According to Gary, he was impressed by deep knowledge shown by Queen Maxima. “Proud to be Dutch” says Gary, referring to the Argentine-born Queen who speaks fluent Dutch and English among other languages.
Visited sites and companies
The mission included visits in the Bay Area to Google, Facebook, University of California San Francisco(UCSF), Berkeley, Stanford University, focusing on innovation on climate change, mobility, healthcare and MedTech solutions.
Task Force Healthcare
Léonie Schuurmans gave an excellent recap of the mission in this posting on LinkedIn. Léonie (Task Force Health Care) believes that the future of healthcare in the U.S. is really formed by #SMEs because the specialized knowledge of startups and scale-ups is desperately needed there. As a great example, a Dutch invention in the field of cartilage restoration was shown To Queen Maxima by the company Arthrosave: The ‘Knee reviver’ (made by BAAT by the way):
