Dear GHA and OAV Members,

within the large geographic region of East Asia Pacific, Japan and Korea are among the leading industrialized nations with undoubtedly attractive market sizes in the healthcare sector. At the same time, the local competitor situation, market entry barriers and cultural realities are different than in the other Asian countries.

In the interest of our members, our working group “Health in Asia” would like to take this into account and discuss in particular the regulatory entry barriers in its next online event on Wednesday, August 31, 2022 from 10:00 to 11:30 am German time. We will focus on the medical device industry, although we will find opportunities to talk about the diagnostics and pharmaceutical industries as well.

Our guest speakers will report on their concrete experiences in both markets, and we will provide ample time for active discussions about Japan and Korea. Thus, we cordially invite you and look forward to your participation. More details will follow soon.

If you have any questions or additional agenda topics, please contact Mr Daniel Müller (mueller@oav.de) or Ms Rajani Sabanantham (sabanantham@gha.health).

The meeting will be held in English.

We are very much looking forward to the exchange with you!
