The program featured speakers covering investment, innovation and operating in Japan. David Mair of Sanford presented on the Japanese concept of Kaizen and its application to business relationships, with a focus on trust and integrity as foundations for doing business in Japan.

As OptiRTP builds its U.S. commercial operations, Japan’s leadership in healthy aging, elder care and rehabilitation medicine represents one of the strongest international alignments for the company’s neuromodulation platform. OptiRTP is building relationships in Japan ahead of future market engagement.

OptiRTP attended with the support of Mio Otashiro, Deputy Consul General, Consulate-General of Japan in Auckland, who continues to provide introductions as the company develops its presence in the region.
