MedTech Actuator opens office in Osaka, Japan
MedTech Actuator celebrates the opening of its new office in Osaka, marking a significant milestone in its expansion into the Japanese market.
We are thrilled to announce the official opening of our newest MedTech Actuator office in Osaka, Japan. The opening ceremony was held at JAMBASE, an innovation facility in Grand Green Osaka -- a large redevelopment district on the north side of JR Osaka Station.
To celebrate this new beginning, we held a traditional Kagami-biraki sake-barrel ceremony, welcoming friends and partners from across Japan to join us in this exciting moment.
Voices from the ceremony
The night began with welcome notes by MedTech Actuator CEO Dr Buzz Palmer, and CSO and Co-founder Prof Vishaal Kishore.
"Healthcare innovation cannot exist without an ecosystem where new technologies continue to be created. We will strengthen our commitment to Japan."
-- Prof. Vishaal Kishore
The evening also included speeches from key partners including Mr. Toru Takahashi (Deputy Mayor of Osaka), Mr. Shingo Torii (Chairperson of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry), and Mr. Sho Hideki (Director General, JETRO).
Strengthening our presence in Japan
This office opening marks a significant milestone in the MedTech Actuator's journey, as we formally transition into the Japanese market after spending the past three years building significant relationships, programs, and a strong presence here.
A huge thank you to our incredible partners from JETRO Startup, JETRO -- Japan External Trade Organization, and Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry for their unwavering support and commitment to such a bold model.
