About the Event

Austrade Korea will host an Australian Digital Health Innovation Showcase in Seoul to promote Australia’s digital health technology capabilities to leading Korean industry players. The event provides a platform for Australian digital health organisations to connect with Korean businesses and research institutes seeking innovative technology partnerships and with Korean investors seeking investment opportunities for future growth.

The 2017 Australian Digital Health Technology Innovation Showcase is open to digital health startups, established companies, and research institutes seeking potential partners.

Market Snapshot

  • The Smart Healthcare Industry (a.k.a. Digital Health) is an important new growth engine for the Korean economy in the era of Industry 4.0. Various measures are taken by Ministries to foster Korea’s Digital Health Industry but social acceptability is still lagging behind in terms of establishment of relevant laws and systems.
  • The Korean government recently held several international and domestic seminars and forums under the theme of Industry 4.0 and seeks international collaborations in the areas of telemedicine, electronic medical record platforms, medical tourism, precision medicine, and big data in the healthcare insurance etc.
  • Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare announced their Precision Medicine Technology Development Plan as part of the Nine National Strategic Project in 2016. The plan includes establishment of Precision Medicine Cohort and Global Standards with a goal of development of Next Generation Hospital Information System and establishment of AI based precision medicine infrastructure and ecosystems.
