De Friesland Participatiefonds

De Friesland Participatiefonds is a Dutch venture capital fund dedicated to investing in innovative healthcare solutions, medical technology, and e-health initiatives. Established by the health insurer De Friesland Zorgverzekeraar (now part of Achmea), the fund provides growth capital and strategic support to startups and scale-ups that aim to improve the quality and efficiency of care. Its investment focus is particularly strong in the Northern Netherlands, aligning with regional "Healthy Ageing" initiatives.

By bridging the gap between financial investment and insurance-sector expertise, the fund helps accelerate the implementation of systemic healthcare innovations.
