Seminar on Entering the Medical Device Business: Leveraging Your Own Technology to Enter the Market from Other Industries

2026.8.12

The Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry will be holding a seminar titled "New Entry into the Medical Device Business" to support small and medium-sized enterprises in entering the medical device business. The seminar will cover the latest trends and entry methods in the medical device business, and will also introduce case studies of companies that are leveraging their unique technologies to venture into the medical field from other industries and are commercializing their businesses through medical-engineering collaboration.

In recent years, in addition to traditional medical device manufacturers, there has been an increase in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) entering the medical field by leveraging technologies cultivated in diverse areas such as precision machining, metal processing, materials, sensing, AI, and software.

The medical field is attracting increasing attention as companies are leveraging their long-cultivated proprietary technologies to solve problems in the medical field, creating opportunities for new market development and business growth.

This seminar will be beneficial for companies considering entering the medical field as a new business area, as well as for companies looking to further accelerate their medical-related business. We encourage you to participate.
