Acquisition strengthens joint position in digital content and education.
As of May 1, 2025, iDoctor BV has been acquired by Elevate BV, a developer of online learning solutions for professionals in various sectors. With this strategic move, the two companies are joining forces to deliver high-quality content and education—both within and beyond the healthcare sector.
iDoctor specialises in producing high-quality medical-scientific and professional content for healthcare professionals, with Mediamed.nl as its primary communication platform. In addition, iDoctor develops a wide range of commissioned content, including summaries of recent scientific publications, podcasts, e-learning modules, video productions, webinars, continuing education magazines, and (international) conference coverage.
“Joining Elevate provides us with a strong foundation for further growth,” says Carlo Nieuwlands, publisher and owner of iDoctor. “We’ll retain our own identity while benefiting from the scale and expertise of a larger organisation. I look forward to expanding our impact together with the Elevate team.”
Elevate BV develops digital learning solutions for clients in healthcare, education, the public sector, and industry. By combining educational expertise with technological innovation and powerful visual content, Elevate creates impactful, tailor-made learning experiences.
Robert Gorter, CEO of Elevate, highlights the strategic importance of the acquisition: “With iDoctor, we’re adding a creative and content-driven team that aligns perfectly with our vision on knowledge sharing. Together, we can better meet the growing demand for high-quality, accessible content and learning solutions—not only in healthcare, but across other sectors as well.”
The acquisition is part of Elevate’s growth strategy, focused on expanding both expertise and market presence.
Hakan Polat, owner of Elevate, adds: “This acquisition fits seamlessly with our ambition to grow with strong, content-driven brands. iDoctor brings a valuable network and a proven track record, enhancing and broadening our offering.”
The iDoctor brand will continue to operate as an independent label within Elevate, retaining its current team and trusted services. For clients and partners, nothing will change in terms of content or collaboration. Any administrative changes will be communicated separately.
