While Silicon Valley chases AI hype, a Dutch government-backed platform is quietly building a fortress around the Netherlands' most sensitive data: medical records. Medmij.nl isn't just another health tech startup—it's the country's official standard for secure patient data exchange, mandated by law and adopted by every major healthcare provider.

"Medmij isn't competing for market share—it's the market itself."

The real genius lies in the business model: zero transaction costs for patients, but healthcare providers and insurers pay licensing fees to use the standard. This creates a sustainable ecosystem where the platform improves care coordination while generating predictable revenue from institutional users rather than consumers.

• Government mandate creates impossible-to-replicate market position
• Federated architecture solves the privacy vs. utility tradeoff
• Network effects strengthen with every provider adoption
• Revenue comes from B2B2C, not direct consumer monetization
