Why invest in Taiwan Medical Devices?
-
Get more for your capital investment. Developing a medical device in Taiwan will cost approximately 60% less than developing it in the United States
-
Access strong engineering talent, product development capabilities, and collaboration potential with the US.
Taiwan has been collaborating with US companies for more than 30 years, notably via the semiconductor industry where Taiwan produces approximately 60% of the global supply. Notably TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) is the first, largest, and most advanced semiconductor foundry in the world based out of Hsinchu, Taiwan.
-
Taiwan has a small domestic market for commercializing medical devices, whereas the United States accounts for approximately half the worldwide medical device revenue.
Our fund will provide regulatory and commercialization support to enter the US market, tapping into the benefits of developing the technology in Taiwan but entering a large market.
