We are also glad to introduce Gabriel Sim from Asia Pacific Medical Technology Association (APACMed) to Rene van de Zande and Edgar Kasteel from MedEnvoy and share the contribution of the association to helping the Asia MedTech industry.

We look forward to collaborating to create synergies and to help US and European companies make products available in the Asian market for public health access.

The meeting emphasized the importance of understanding different countries' rules and regulations and highlighted the need for careful planning, compliance, and efficient communication. Additionally, the meeting covered various factors such as the Indian Healthcare Industry's opportunities, the differences between private and government care, setting up joint ventures with manufacturers, and using intermediaries to source for suppliers and distributors.

It was a pleasurable discussion and they were able to gain insights pertaining to the Indian Healthcare Industry.

The Morulaa Conference provided an excellent opportunity for those looking to gain insight into the Indian medical system. This conference presents an opportunity for professionals to have a one-to-one interactive session from all over all the world to engage and discuss the latest trends in the healthcare and compliance space to identify potential business partners.

Followed by a series of wonderful events that Morulaa planned after all the beneficial networking sessions. A short mesmerising show by an Illusionist with stunning mind reading capabilities, Gala Dinner & Cocktails with Live Celestial Music from Kolkatta and South Indian Dance Recital that were taught to the attendees.

We obtain unique insights into Japanese business and share them with ASEAN business leaders in order to foster regional growth and new commercial prospects.

Thank you to the SMF for putting on such an unforgettable cross-cultural business connections event. Congratulations to SMF on their 88th birthday!

Did you tune in to the APACMed Annual General Meeting that happened last Wednesday? The event discussion included the outcome of our advocacy efforts in 2022, as well as their plans to engage the APACMed community and the wider #MedTech industry in 2023.

We wrapped up the event with a rest and relaxation day with our CEO, May Ng, and Corporate Expansion Director, Al Low. They were guided by friends to shop around and had a wonderful drinking session with the rest of the participants present for the event.

This gives the opportunity to get to know everyone present and have the chance to have potential collaborations in the future. The chance to interact with one another allows these sessions to build relationships which leads to the growth in India's dynamic business community.

Our CEO, May Ng, and our Corporate Expansion Director, Kong Tat Low, provided useful information on marketing, investment and regulatory strategy that would support their business needs beyond India. It was also inspiring to hear many innovations from the incubatees during our one-on-one sessions.
