Emerging Markets for MedTech Products: Strategies for Design, Marketing & Sales

The prominent emerging markets – Brazil, China, India and Turkey offer significant opportunities for medtech companies willing to invest the time and resources. With growing middle classes and governments dedicated to improving the quality of health care, these particular markets could be fertile territory for sales growth in the coming years.

 The emerging markets do not come without challenges and potential pitfalls. This seminar will examine issues medtech companies need to investigate prior to marketing and selling in these countries, including product development sensitivities; complying with American and British corruption laws and product introduction. In addition, area experts will brief registrants on the latest medtech marketing news from these countries.
