Planning seminars and other events

With the medical device market expected to continue growing, increased efforts are being made in Japan to raise the industry’s competitiveness and stimulate innovation. Compliance with the complex regulations and various types of standards that apply in this industry is essential in the marketing of medical devices.

In light of this, SunFlare shares the expertise and practical regulatory knowledge that it has gained through the provision of medical device consulting services by conducting a variety of seminars, human resource development programs and other events for stakeholders in the medical device market.

Upon request, we conduct seminars developed in-house as well as lectures tailored to various courses and seminars organized by local governments and industrial promotion groups.
