We are pleased to be supporting OCCI event again this year back in person in Osaka. This year the event will focus on the medtech innovation ecosystem of the future.
The medtech innovation ecosystem of the future
Medtech Connect Osaka 2023 is your opportunity to connect with the future – and help drive the creation of a medtech innovation ecosystem for Japan. 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.
