In today’s globalized world, healthtech innovations have the potential to cross borders and make a significant impact on healthcare systems worldwide. However, expanding into new regions comes with its own set of challenges, from navigating regulatory environments to understanding cultural nuances and establishing local partnerships. At MariamTek, we specialize in helping healthtech startups and scaleups grow their business in additional regions, ensuring that their innovative solutions reach more people and make a broader impact.
