SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Understanding the Medical Devices Market in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Japan’s medical devices and healthcare market offer business opportunities for innovative British companies. It is the second largest medical devices market after the US with a large number of hospitals. It offers universal access and national healthcare services\, and the world’s highest life expectancies. Premium pricing is also available for healthcare innovations. \nWith a market size of £19.8 billion in 2014\, Japan’s medical devices market heavily relies on imports\, especially for therapeutic devices\, which consist of nearly 50% of the total domestic sales volume. The UK is ranked as the 8th largest exporter of medical devices to Japan. Since the revision of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Act in 2014\, regulations on medical devices have been modified to allow faster and easier access to the Japanese medical devices market. Japan’s approval process is now roughly equivalent to the US. \nJapan offers a great opportunity for UK companies involved in the development of innovative medtech and medical device\, especially for therapeutic devices. The top 5 main therapeutic device categories are: \n1) artificial internal organ apparatus and assist device;\n2) operating equipment and supplies;\n3) ophthalmic goods;\n4) diagnostic imaging system; and\n5) therapeutic and surgical equipment. \nThe Japanese government is leading on the following 5 key focused area: Surgical robot\, artificial organ/ tissues\, minimum invasive surgery\, diagnostic imaging\, home medical treatment equipment. \nAbout the speaker\nMr. Taiki Ishikura\, Director & Chief Business Officer of Japan Organisation for Medical Device Development Inc (JOMDD). \nJOMDD is the first-ever medical device incubator in Japan\, sourcing early-stage technologies from overseas and commercialise them globally. \nJOMDD has strong ties with Japanese universities\, medium-sized companies and governments with a nationwide network having a strategic alliance with the largest MD association\, Japan Medical Association. \nFor more information: https://jomdd.com/en/ \n  \nREGISTER HERE

The market is continuously growing with CAGR of 6.3%. The healthcare system in the country is known to be high quality and efficient\, with the Korean National Health Insurance System (KNIS) providing near universal healthcare coverage to the population of 51 million. Relatively high consumption of alcohol and tobacco\, plus increasingly sedentary lifestyles and an ageing population means Korea faces a growing burden of non-communicable disease and is reliant on new technologies to keep up with the population’s needs. \nKorea has a lot of opportunities for UK companies\, particularly for products using cutting edge technology in digital health\, orthopaedics\, wound care\, dental\, ophthalmic products and elderly care. Local firms and hospitals have expressed interest in products such as dental implants\, ultrasound imaging systems\, grafts/prostheses\, biomaterials\, and PACS. There is a strong appetite for UK products\, with the UK ranking as 7th in the list of biggest importers to Korea in 2016. \nJapanJapan’s medical devices and healthcare market offers business opportunities for innovative British companies. It is the second largest medical devices market after the US with a large number of hospitals. It offers universal access and national healthcare services\, and the world’s highest life expectancies. Premium pricing is also available for healthcare innovations. Japan’s medical devices market\, valued at over £20 billion\, heavily relies on imports\, especially for therapeutic devices\, which consist of nearly 50% of the total domestic sales volume. The UK is ranked as the 8th largest exporter of medical devices to Japan. Also\, since the revision of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Act in 2014\, regulations on medical devices have been modified to allow faster and easier access to the Japanese medical devices market. Japan’s approval process is now roughly equivalent to the US. \nJapan offers a great opportunity for UK companies involved in the development of innovative medical technology\, particularly in the following areas: artificial internal organ apparatus and assistive devices\, high tech operating equipment and supplies\, ophthalmic goods\, diagnostic imaging system; therapeutic and surgical equipment and home treatment equipment.

SUMMARY:International trade in 2019 and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 12 March\, Gowling WLG office Birmingham\nBooking link: https://www.medilinkwm.co.uk/events/international-trade-in-2019-and-beyond/\n \nThe future of the UK’s international trade landscape remains unclear. There are still questions as to where we are heading in terms of the UK-EU relationship. This poses a number of challenges for businesses that are dependent on cross border trade with the EU\, and require an understanding of what measures can be taken to keep goods moving across the border\, in the event of a No Deal Brexit. In parallel to the EU-UK negotiations\, there are discussions underway that would potentially lead the UK to forming or extending trade relationships with other territories. These new trade arrangements\, so called Free Trade Agreements “FTA”s\, will offer new or improved market access opportunities for those businesses that are positioned to take advantage and understand the requirements placed on an exporter of goods or services.\n \nWhilst it is not possible to predict the Brexit status by the 12 March\, undoubtedly a viewpoint on the common challenges and opportunities around international trade and the associated compliance requirements will be invaluable. The agenda below has been kept deliberately open and will be flexed according to the position of the UK and Brexit at the time. This event will be hosted by Ursula Johnston and other trade and regulatory specialists who will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.\n\n\nBrexit update and what does the current position mean for the Life Sciences sector;\nCustoms compliance for cross border trade: common challenges and solutions;\nAn introduction to Free Trade Agreements;\nInternational trade\, contracts and Incoterms; and\nAdapting to a new regulatory environment.\n\n\nThis event is in partnership with Gowling WLG and Medilink West Midlands.\nHot drinks and pastries will be available on arrival.
