opportunity assessment

Japan is the 2nd largest single country market for medical devices at over USD44B per year. Having the world's longest life expectancy with 25% of the total population 65 years and older, Japan offers medical device companies incredible opportunities, but not without challenging obstacles. We will help you assess the market and forecast your market potential. 

kol engagement

Close collaboration with key opinion leaders is vital to the success of your business. We can help you get in touch with the right clinicians for clinical evaluation of your product, market access consultation, medical advisory board creation, and advocacy support. From cardiologists to respiratory care specialists and sleep medicine experts, we can engage and empower your KOL relationships.

Business Strategy development

Should your business establish its own office in Japan or contract with a local distributor? Although start-up costs may be higher with establishing your own office in Japan, the overall return on investment may also be higher. We will help you develop a customized business strategy that closely aligns with both your short-term and long-term objectives. 

congress strategy

Scientific discovery is the cornerstone for the advancement of medical device innovation. Medical congresses are a great place for allied health professionals and industry experts to exchange creative ideas and scientific findings. We can help you select the best medical congresses to attend and promote your products. We can provide translation and interpretation for key sessions and help you build your network.

Distributor Search and management

Japan has a vast healthcare network with approximately 8,000 hospitals,100,000 private medical clinics, and 60,000 dental clinics with thousands of distributors, dealers, and sub-dealers servicing these institutions. We will help you select the best distributor which aligns with your business strategy. We can also act as your in-country liaison to manage your local distributor(s). 

Regulatory and related services

These services are provided mainly through our partners and associates also located in Japan: regulatory submissions, acting as your Designated Market Authorization holder (D-MAH), executive search, training & executive coaching, translation/interpretation services, and mergers & acquisitions.
