On October 1st, 2025, MedTech World returns to Singapore for a high-level, invite-only event created specifically for companies looking to expand across Southeast Asia’s fast-evolving healthcare landscape. 

This year’s conference is set against the backdrop of Singapore’s national R&D strategy (RIE2025), which identifies human health and potential as a central pillar of innovation. Already a trusted MedTech manufacturing hub producing over US$12 billion in medical products annually, Singapore continues to attract global players thanks to its engineering expertise, clear regulatory pathways, and strategic location. 

ASEAN Market Entry in Focus 

MedTech World Singapore 2025, co-hosted with KPMG, is designed not just as a pitch stage or investor summit but as a strategic launchpad. The forum brings together hospital executives, policymakers, emerging startups, and service providers from across ASEAN and India, providing the practical insight and networking opportunities necessary to scale and succeed in the region.

“The MedTech sector is evolving at an unprecedented pace across Southeast Asia (SEA), organizations need both strategic insight and trusted partnerships to navigate complex regulatory frameworks and seize emerging opportunities,” said Peter Liddell, Head of Life Sciences, KPMG Asia Pacific. “Strategic adoption of MedTech in SEA can be unlocked through achieving acceptance, articulating value and ensuring accessibility and affordability. We aim to empower innovators to enter markets swiftly and drive meaningful healthcare transformation across ASEAN.”

The day-long programme runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with content hosted on a single stage. The agenda features: 

  • Market outlooks on access, reimbursement, and regulation in ASEAN 
  • Panels on hospital engagement, entry strategies, and cross-border partnerships 
  • Startup spotlights highlighting innovation with regional commercial potential 
  • Fireside chats on how to go from pilot projects to procurement contracts 

Building on 2024 Momentum 

“Singapore continues to stand out as a gateway to the wider ASEAN region,” said Dr. Dylan Attard, CEO of MedTech World. “This conference isn’t just about access; it’s about alignment. We’re bringing together the people who influence decisions, allocate budgets, and move innovation from idea to implementation across Southeast Asia.” 

The 2024 edition of the Singapore Roadshow tackled topics such as Global MedTech Perspectives and Generative AI in Healthcare. It also featured a competitive startup pitch, attracting founders from across Asia and beyond. This year’s edition builds on that energy, adding a sharper focus on regulatory alignment and hospital engagement. 

To be held on 1 October, the event will conclude with a relaxed networking reception featuring drinks, light bites, and an opportunity to deepen conversations begun during the day.
