The Taiwan Economic Development (TIER) Business Matching Event has steadily developed into a significant platform for strengthening regional cooperation and advancing healthcare innovation. From the 25th to the 26th September 2025, Andaman Medical was pleased to participate in this year’s event together with Nord Pacific Medical, engaging directly with manufacturers and innovators interested in expanding into Malaysia and the broader Southeast Asian region.
Sharing Practical Insights for Malaysia Market Entry
During the two day program, our team joined forces with Hank Chao, Regional Regulatory Operations Manager at Nord Pacific Medical, to deliver focused discussions tailored to companies seeking a pathway into Malaysia. Alongside our representatives, May and Lee Wern, the group provided clear and practical guidance on navigating the country’s regulatory requirements.
The discussions covered key topics such as:
- product registration pathways in Malaysia
- preparing compliant technical documentation
- understanding classification considerations
- developing a realistic and efficient market entry strategy
Strong Interest in Malaysia’s Healthcare Opportunities
Throughout the event, we saw active engagement from participating SMEs. Many expressed strong interest in Malaysia as a strategic starting point for broader ASEAN expansion. Questions centered on licensing processes, local representation requirements, and typical timelines for product approvals.
The conversations reinforced a clear trend. Taiwan based MedTech companies are increasingly exploring Malaysia as a promising market for innovation, partnerships, and long term growth.
Contributing to a Collaborative Regional Ecosystem
The TIER Business Matching Event also served as a valuable platform to highlight Malaysia’s role as a regional hub for healthcare development. As manufacturers look toward expansion, access to reliable regulatory expertise remains an essential factor in ensuring smooth and compliant market entry.
At Andaman Medical, we remain committed to supporting companies at every step of the process. Our Malaysian team provides assistance with:
- regulatory planning and market entry strategy
- product classification and dossier preparation
- local authorised representation
- registration submissions and post market compliance
Looking Ahead
We appreciated the opportunity to contribute to meaningful discussions throughout the TIER event and to connect with companies exploring their ASEAN potential. We look forward to continuing these conversations and supporting Taiwanese innovators as they chart their expansion into Malaysia.
If you would like to explore how Andaman Medical can support your entry into the Malaysian healthcare market, our team is ready to assist.
