MedTech’s leaders across Asia-Pacific have 15 confirmed challenges — each addressing between US$1.5bn and US$3.8bn a year — and they’re looking beyond their own industry for the solvers. Amplifai runs the MedTech Forum’s Day-1 Innovation Stage under an exclusive three-year agreement with APACMed: selected Innovators pitch to the decision-makers, run scoped pilots, and meet investors active in the region.
Applications roll to the post-Forum cycle · Forum: 29–30 Sep · Suntec Singapore
companies already vetted onto the bench — you’d be joining proven company
raised collectively by the current bench
priced challenges we recruit against — each mapped to real buyer demand
confirmed stage formats at MTF26: plenary, showcases, pitch finals
Pilot-to-Procurement playbooks
Country-by-country: evidence, reimbursement, tender. The program’s job isn’t a demo day; it’s graduating you into MedTech supply chains and portfolios.
Advisory modules that move the needle
Regulatory pathway mapping, market access & HEOR, GTM playbooks, deal structuring, talent sourcing — pick what your APAC expansion actually needs.
Storytelling Studio
Podcast features, decks, white papers and KOL video — visibility engineered for procurement committees and investors, not vanity metrics.
Who we’re looking for
The answer to a MedTech distribution problem may come from industrial e-commerce; equipment uptime from factory predictive-maintenance AI; counterfeit protection from supply-chain traceability. If your solution attacks one of the 15 challenges — whatever industry you built it in — you’re relevant to a buyer here, and we can show you which one, in which market.
Innovativeness
A genuinely differentiated solution to one or more of the 15 challenges.
Traction
Evidence it works: customers, deployments, clinical or commercial results, capital raised.
MNCs, SMEs and startups all qualify; APAC and non-APAC headquartered alike — the current bench is 45/45.

FAQ
“We’re not in MedTech — why would we join a MedTech program?”
Because the buyers are here and the problems pay. APAC MedTech’s 15 challenges each address between US$1.5bn and US$3.8bn a year of the region’s US$117.7bn MedTech spend, and the incumbents are explicitly scanning other industries for solutions. Amplifai is the matchmaking layer.
“We’re an established company, not a startup.”
You’re in scope. Innovators span MNC business units, SMEs and startups; several bench companies are Series C and beyond.
“What does it cost?”
Participation is modular and phase-based, tailored during selection. You’ll see full terms before you commit anything.
“What are my odds?”
We’re honest about this: MTF26 stage slots are limited (10 showcase booths, 10 pitch finalists, 8 plenary presenters). But grading is criteria-based — innovativeness and traction beat hype — and non-selected applicants stay in the pipeline for pilots and later cohorts.
“Do you take equity?”
Standard participation doesn’t require it; flexible fee structures exist for earlier-stage companies and are discussed case by case during selection.
“What happens after the Forum?”
The Forum is the showcase, not the finish line. Pilots, procurement playbooks and Capital Bridge support run year-round across the three-year program.
