U.S.-Japan Healthcare Connection Reverse Pitch Event

**In Person Event**

Large Japanese medtech companies have the funds to invest and the motivation to collaborate with MedTech Innovator companies. To bridge the gap between these large Japanese companies and the attending MTI companies, we have arranged a “reverse pitch” series of brief presentations for the afternoon of June 15th. Senior bilingual executives from fifteen companies will be available before and after their presentations to discuss what technologies and products are of interest. They will also discuss the diseases and other areas of interest that could be a source of mutual collaboration. To facilitate the discussions and to make introductions, a number of senior people from the Japan Society of Northern California (JSNC) and US- Japan Medtech Frontiers (now part of JSNC’s Healthcare Council) will be attending.

This program is designed to introduce Japanese companies that are highly interested in the healthcare/medtech industry as potential strategic partners and/or investors in early-stage medtech ventures. After the presentations, the presenting companies will have an opportunity to meet individually with Summit attendees to discuss areas of mutual interest. Companies that will be presenting are:

Asahi Intecc
Enplas
Fujikura America Inc.
Hoya
LINK-J
Mitsui Chemicals
Mitsubishi Corp.
Nitto
Otsuka (ReCor Medical Inc.)
iPark Institute
Sumitomo Bakelite
Sysmex
Teijin

xCare

The tentative schedule for this event is 2:30-4:30 p.m., and attendance is limited to companies that have been pre-approved to participate. If you are interested in attending, please contact us at admin@usajapan.org.
