Topic:
Partnering With the Japanese Healthcare Industry
Many foreign healthcare companies are interested in gaining access to Japan's huge healthcare market, and face significant challenges despite recent changes to make market entry and partnering with Japanese healthcare companies more accessible. Using case studies of a pharmaceutical product deal and a medical device deal and observations drawn from over 25 years experience, this presentation will focus on key issues companies face in deals with Japanese healthcare companies and provide attendees with some valuable, practical strategies to assist companies wishing to enter this market.
- strategies for identifying and engaging the best Japanese partners
- techniques for evaluating various market entry mechanisms
- insider's hints and tips to understanding cultural issues
The speaker, Kyle E. Murphy, is the managing director and founder of KMG Japan Inc. Having worked in the Japanese healthcare market for over 25 years, he advises companies on market entry and structuring healthcare alliances, speaks Japanese fluently, and has a strong network of contacts in industry and government. He was the First Commercial Secretary in the US Embassy in Tokyo, managing trade negotiations for US companies entering the Japanese healthcare market, and previously worked at Schering-Plough in Osaka, Japan and SmithKline in the US.
