Collect information and connect with medical device manufacturers to get involved in the medical device industry. At the medical equipment related exhibition "MEDTEC Japan" (April 20-22, 2016, Tokyo Ariake International Convention and Exhibition Center), a total of 16 groups from various local governments in Japan came to participate in this exhibition. Most of these exhibitors work with local medical institutions and universities to establish a system that listens to the needs of the site and pairs with local businesses. On the other hand, various local initiatives, including the promotion of regional enterprises to carry out cooperative development, also have their own characteristics.
One of the most striking is the trend of “getting out of the carâ€. Many OEM auto parts companies are turning their attention to the medical equipment industry when they are looking for new markets that are not affected by economic trends.
From mold making to surgical instrument manufacturing
In Iizuka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, where the rice cooker research and development organization of the booth is located, there are many companies that supply parts to the automotive industry. Many of these companies are targeting a class of medical devices that are less difficult to develop.
For example, Fujii Seiko, who produces mold parts, has prototyped a surgical instrument "lymph node sampler". The company noted that during tumor and tissue resection, the resected malignant tissue may touch normal tissue when removed. This device is envisaged for laparoscopic surgery. When used, the sampling rod is inserted into the body, and the collected malignant tissue is stored in a container inside the rod, and is taken out without touching any other place. Animal clinical trials are currently underway.
Initiative to establish Kobe City of Medical Industry City
After the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, Kobe City built a Kobe Medical Industrial City in order to support companies involved in the medical industry by assembling a number of research institutions, medical institutions, and companies in the artificial island of Kobe. And actively attract investment from outside the county, by 2015, the number of enterprises has increased to 316.
In Kobe Medical Industry City, the most striking is the company that deals with automotive sensors and mold processing and has no connection with medical devices. Although these companies intend to enter the medical industry, they do not understand the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law and hope to cooperate with enterprises in Yeouido.
In response to these demands, Kobe City has hired people who have worked on medical device development to provide advice to companies. And regularly hold theme exchanges and study sessions to promote cooperation between enterprises, not only close the distance, but also set up a number of exchange platforms to promote the development of the medical industry city.
Promote regional characteristics
Previously, it was the “base camp†of auto companies. The local government, which is now striving to build the medical device industry into a new market, has also sent institutions to participate. Among them, the Medical Related Industry Research Association (Hiroshima Industrial Renaissance Agency) in Hiroshima, where Mazda is headquartered, and the Medical Device Development and Promotion Group in Okayama, where Mitsubishi Motors Water Island Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is located, Hamamatsu Medical Co., Ltd. in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, where Suzuki Headquarters is located. Base, and the Nagano SME Renaissance Center near the Toyota plant.
Among them, the Hiroshima Medical Industry Research Association (Hiroshima Industry Renaissance Agency) attaches great importance to the needs of medical sites. The agency said it will also convey the voice of the Hiroshima Medical Center to companies outside the prefecture, and does not rule out the production of products and services by companies outside the county.
