About the summit

Why Korea, why now


The Korean government has been ambitious in promoting the medical device industry. Government policies and funds are in place to further boost the competitiveness of its medtech sector by highlighting the development of innovative and high end medical devices. On 22 May 2019 the government announced Vision 2030, a long term plan to strengthen this sector.

The Covid 19 pandemic brought unprecedented opportunities to Korean medical device makers for expanding their footprint in the global market, exporting 5.7 billion US dollars in 2020 with a 44% increase. Korea is ranked 4th among healthcare markets in Asia Pacific. The country imports 63% of domestically used devices from overseas, which makes Korea a prime destination for medical device manufacturers from around the world.

The first MedTech Korea Summit 2022 (MKS 2022) is an ideal platform where global medtech companies meet the Korean medtech industry for sparkling ideas, building partnerships and fostering innovations. MKS 2022 combines high level keynotes, clinical case studies and interactive panel discussions from leading hospitals, universities, research institutes and medtech companies, as well as product demos from innovative medtech startups.
