New initiative to connect Japanese medtech startups with Singapore-based venture capital firms

October 8, 2025 | Wednesday | News

To promote joint research, clinical validation, and cross-border investment

Campus Create, one of Japan’s largest university-affiliated Technology Licensing Organisations (TLOs), has launched a new initiative to connect cutting-edge Japanese medtech startups with Singapore-based venture capital firms, corporations, and researchers.

Through its nationwide network of 84 universities and research institutions, Campus Create supports early-stage innovations in medical technology and healthcare — from DNA damage–based cancer diagnostics and non-invasive fibrosis detection, to BCI for stroke rehabilitation, AI-powered sleep analysis, and skin gas–based health monitoring.

The initiative aims to promote joint research, clinical validation, and cross-border investment between Japan and Singapore. Business meetings will be available both online and in-person in Singapore (late October, during SWITCH 2025), with full interpretation and coordination support provided by Campus Create.

Singapore partners can gain early access to advanced Japanese medtech, co-branding and marketing support, and priority opportunities as local distribution partners.

Potential collaboration partners include:

  • University hospitals offering clinical PoC (proof of concept) opportunities
  • Academic researchers interested in joint research
  • Venture capital firms seeking investment opportunities
  • Companies exploring collaboration
  • Distributors aiming to expand their portfolios
  • Other organisations interested in partnerships with Japanese startups
