Digital Health Programme to Connect British and Taiwanese Leaders
Taiwan’s digital health industry, powered by its state-of-the-art ICT sector, presents an exciting opportunity for overseas investment and collaboration. The British Office Taipei, in collaboration with GeneOnline, is arranging an exclusive webinar only for UK businesses and matchmaking events for both UK and Taiwan businesses in ICT, VC, medical AloT, Medtech, digital health and research to identify prospective partners.
The Key Strengths of Taiwan’s Digital Health
Taiwan is more known for its semiconductors, less so for its digital health industry. Both are, in fact, two sides of the same coin, powered by Taiwan’s state-of-the-art information and communications technology (ICT).
The island is constantly exploring ways to incorporate ICT into the healthcare sector, and reimagining how healthcare providers can offer services.
As a result, digital health has taken off, spawning mobile apps that could test for COVID-19, artificial applications that could aid physicians with detecting diseases such as cancer, and more.
Taiwan’s advancements in digital health have attracted international attention. The UK and Taiwan could share complementary strengths in digital health and medical AloT, have similar public health structures and have geographical proximity to the larger APAC region.
| An exclusive webinar and B2B Matchmaking for the UK businesses and academia will offer them an opportunity to connect with Taiwanese companies for future collaboration. |
