Singapore is set to attract leading medical technology companies to not just manufacture, but also develop innovative products for the growing market in Asia. More than 10 leading medical technology companies have established regional headquarters in Singapore, including Boston Scientific and Edward Lifesciences, Johnson & Johnson. Furthermore, there are numerous public sector research institutes that partner companies to accelerate medical technology innovation. The Institute of Microelectronics and Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology have built up their area of expertise and attracted investors as partners to test bed new products.

It seems like these international companies are only setting up manufacturing plants in Singapore, but not to base their companies here. Therefore, I am not sure if the future of MedTech in Singapore will be very promising, especially at this season of economic downturn when most companies, even those in the BMS industry are facing financial instability. What about the investments from the government(s) in this industry? Maybe someone can help to clarify my doubts here? Thank you.
