Howden acquires Nordic Netcare, strengthening its focus on health and preventative care

Denmark, 2 July 2025 – Howden today announces the acquisition of Nordic Netcare, a provider of digital healthcare solutions and health case management for insurers, pension funds and corporations in the Nordics, headquartered in Denmark. The acquisition reflects Howden’s strategy to invest in its digital health capabilities to strengthen its clients’ ability to manage people risk and improve employee well-being in the region.

Nordic Netcare provides case handling for the local insurance market, focusing on hybrid evidence-based health support, and offers services including online physiotherapy, personalised guidance. Nordic Netcare has a broad network of treatment providers, serves over 100,000 patients annually, and works with more than 4,000 clinics across the Nordics.

The addition of Nordic Netcare follows the acquisition of occupational health advisory firm Joblife A/S to expand its expertise in this field. With the addition of Nordic Netcare, Howden has taken another important step in reducing the number of sick and injured employees in the labour market.

Nordic Netcare will continue as an independent company under Howden, and all employees and management will remain in their current roles.

Lars Gundorph, CEO, Howden Denmark, said: "The acquisition of Nordic Netcare is a key strategic step in our ambition to offer fully integrated 360-degree risk advisory services. With Nordic Netcare, we are enhancing our competencies within health and prevention – an area that is increasingly in demand from our clients. Furthermore, by leveraging aggregate claims data, we can target preventive initiatives and help create the foundation for reducing insurance premiums going forward. This leads to both healthier employees and improved costs for our clients." 

Jakob Kromann, Co-CEO of Nordic Netcare, adds: "Sometimes opportunities arise where the synergy between the parties creates more than the sum of their parts. Joining Nordic Netcare with Howden is a perfect example of this, and we look forward to becoming part of a group with so many skilled and inspiring individuals."

Teddy Jacobsen, Co-CEO of Nordic Netcare, adds: "With Howden, we gain an owner that understands the value of prevention and health innovation. This enables us to accelerate our development and together take workplace health solutions to the next level."
Howden is Denmark’s largest independent advisory firm, and provides solutions in commercial insurance, corporate pensions, financial advisory, mortgages, wealth management, and claims advisory.
