A key theme of Medical Taiwan 2025 is the significant contribution of ecosystem builders in nurturing early-stage startups to achieve global impact. Johnny Yu, Founder and Chairman of CellTech Innovation Venture Studio and Managing Director of Mosaic Venture Lab, delivered a keynote speech on global MedTech trends and pressures, covering population aging, complex regulatory frameworks, and lengthy development cycles. Johnny highlighted key obstacles faced by early-stage startups: the lab-to-market translation gap, complex regulatory hurdles, funding constraints, and the complexities of market entry. He emphasized that ecosystem builders such as accelerators, venture studios, academic incubators, and government innovation departments play a crucial role in overcoming these challenges.
Ryan Jin, Manager at Singapore’s Centre for Healthcare Innovation, emphasized in his speech that while innovation is crucial, its effective integration into existing healthcare systems requires strategic partnerships. He acknowledged the common difficulties in collaboration between startups and healthcare institutions, citing systemic misalignments, “last-mile” barriers, and a lack of bridging infrastructure. To overcome these issues, Ryan stressed the need for streamlined processes, strong support for innovation adoption, and the establishment of clear communication channels.
