innovators, partners, investors, providers, and a shared mission for patient impact.
It Started with a Vision to Empower Asia Pacific's innovators
In 2019, we saw an opportunity – and a responsibility.
Asia Pacific was home to a new wave of medtech innovators with the potential to change healthcare globablly. But too many faced the same challenges: limited strategic guidance, funding and networks that could take their ideas from concept to patients.
Having run the program in the U.S. since 2013, MedTech Innovator Asia Pacific was launched to change that. From the very beginning, our mission has been to unite innovators, investors, industry leaders, and healthcare providers into one collaborative ecosystem – working together to accelerate solutions that improve patient lives.

"Yes, another thing that is different in the MTI Program, not just the mentors, another part is they worked with a lot of corporate partners, and some of the partners we are in active conversations with. We believe these conversations can lead to further business opportunities, even growth for the next stage of the company. "
