[JETRO San Francisco Webinar] Introduction to Japan’s Digital Healthcare Market

Sep 30, 2016

Japan’s healthcare industry faces a unique challenge: to provide care for its large elderly population while helping contribute to an “ageless” society where seniors can live independent, active roles in their home and community.

 

To meet this challenge, Japan is turning to healthcare technology for solutions. As a result, Japan’s digital healthcare market is growing expansively, with new challenges and business opportunities emerging each year.

 

This webinar will serve as an introductory course to Japan’s digital healthcare market. It will highlight current trends in the healthcare technology, recent policy changes to increase foreign competition, and possible entry methods into the Japanese market.

  1. Gain insight on Japan's digital healthare market through emerging industry players and incumbents
