A week of health in the heart of the Netherlands
Dutch Health Week is Utrecht’s annual city-wide event, dedicated to health and well-being for a full week. The event is an initiative of Royal Jaarbeurs (Royal Jaarbeurs) and aligns with Utrecht’s regional ambition as the “Heart of Health”—an ecosystem of innovative companies, knowledge institutions, and government agencies working together towards a healthier and more sustainable world. Program locations are spread throughout the city and region, including Utrecht Science Park, Jaarbeurs, Galgenwaard, Centraal Museum, sports clubs, and museums in the city center.
Program and themes
The program is structured around seven main themes: food & beverage, trade fairs & conferences, education, beauty, sports, culture, and healthcare & well-being. The offerings range from professional conferences and scientific lectures to public activities in the fields of sports, nutrition, preventive health, and urban planning. Interconnections with education, science, mobility, and housing make it a broad social program accessible to a diverse audience.
Who is Dutch Health Week for?
The event focuses on two main target groups: healthcare professionals and researchers participating in professional fairs and conferences, and citizens and residents of Utrecht and the surrounding area who want to learn about the latest trends in health and healthy lifestyles in an accessible and inspiring way.
