Special Event in Osaka - Navigating the German Healthcare Market: Case Studies and the NRW Ecosystem for Japanese Innovators
Germany’s healthcare and care market is entering a phase of major transformation. Driven by demographic change, digital healthcare, and rising demand for advanced medical devices and care solutions, the market offers strong opportunities for Japanese companies with innovative technologies and high-quality products.
At the same time, successful market entry requires more than a good product. Companies need a clear strategy, the right local partners, and a solid understanding of regulatory, sales, and service structures.
This event will show how Japanese companies can approach the German healthcare and care market through North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), one of Germany’s leading economic and life sciences regions. With insights from NRW’s ecosystem and practical examples from German companies, we will explore business models that work — and how Japanese strengths can be turned into new opportunities in Germany.
Please note that "German State of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) will exhibit with our guest speakers at WHX Osaka 2026, a medical exhibition held from July 2nd to 4th at INTEX Osaka, Hall 6 (Booth No. A-204). We look forward to your visit.
