Episode Description

Have you ruled out Japan because you've been told it's too difficult, too expensive, or takes too long to enter?

But the reality has changed. In this episode, Japan market expert Curt Jennewine explains why many of the traditional barriers are no longer as challenging as they once were and what MedTech companies need to understand before entering one of the world's largest healthcare markets.

Listeners will discover:

  • Why success in Europe or the US doesn't automatically guarantee success in Japan
  • How Japan's regulatory, reimbursement, and distributor landscape has evolved in recent years
  • What MedTech companies should look for when selecting partners and building a successful export strategy for Japan
