Japan Healthcare Venture Summit 2023

https://mediso.mhlw.go.jp/jhvs2023/en/index.html

Overview of the event
Japan is one of the few countries that develop new drugs. The country also has a high potential
for innovation including the academiaʼs superior basic researches and small and medium enterprisesʼ manufacturing skills. On the other hand, it has been pointed out that this potential is not
optimally utilized. Especially healthcare ventures, which to aim to have pharmaceutical products,
medical devices and regenerative medicines that are put into practical use, are expected to fully
unleash their capabilities and lead healthcare innovation in Japan as in the cases of Europe andthe U.S.
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is implementing various initiatives for establishing a positive cycle (ecosystem) for promoting practical applications of superior seeds discovered in theacademia and other sectors and for fostering healthcare ventures.
In order to further accelerate these initiatives, we will hold the Japan Healthcare Venture Summit
2023 at Paciﬁco Yokohama, as we did last year. The Summit will have healthcare ventures place
their exhibit booths and make presentations to promote their matching and networking with key
individuals from major companies, ﬁnancial institutions, research institutes etc. Also, it will prepare
an environment including symposiums and exchanges in the venue that will help related parties
deepen their understanding of regulations, systems, and initiatives for supporting ventures.
We sincerely hope that this Summit will be attended by healthcare ventures and academia thathave seeds that are expected to lead to innovative pharmaceutical products, medical devices andregenerative medicines. We expect this Summit to serve as an opportunity to taking a step
forward toward putting the seeds into practical use.
