What is the Global Navigator Japan-Melbourne Program?
MedTech Actuator’s Global Navigator Japan-Melbourne Program is a global growth-stage market access program that enables healthcare startups to initiate their global business strategy, while leveraging the knowledge and support of the Australian ecosystem.
The program facilitates the planning and implementation of quick and effective international strategies through virtual knowledge sessions and a local in-person immersion trip to Melbourne, Australia, with visits to local organisations, including government agencies, medical institutions, companies, and meetings with key opinion leaders (KOLs).
Why Australia?
Australia is one of Asia-Pacific’s fastest-growing startup ecosystems. In 2021, Australian BioTech/MedTech startups raised over A$500 million capital – the 5th largest sector in Australia. In Singapore & Australia, the startup ecosystem’s value has grown by more than AUD$7 billion in the past 12 months to more than AUD$17 billion (The Global Startup Ecosystem Report, 2022) and the city flourishes as a top five life science hub in Asia-Pacific and Australia (CBRE, 2021).
