The medtech innovation ecosystem of the future

As well as hearing from leading Japanese companies, you’ll gain valuable insights from Cambridge Consultants experts with experience of innovation ecosystems across the world. What can we learn? How can we apply that knowledge? And how can we ensure a positive future for innovators, practitioners, patients and the industry as a whole?

We’ll seek answers to all those questions and more as we focus on the promise of a sustainable, world-class ecosystem to nurture ambitious start-ups in our region.
