Local Representation Services

BIC provides one-stop shop consulting services to Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, Medical device, IVD, Life science and Consumer healthcare companies.

Entering a new market is very much like a start-up situation. There is no “one strategy” for all Asian markets. Asian countries have their own ways of doing business, but there are also many similarities in business among the countries. Learning local rules of business is probably the first key to a successful market entry. Our industry specialized team provides expert advice and support for our clients to develop localized strategies.

Each service is customized to meet the unique needs of each client. Contact us to learn how BIC could be a valuable addition to your business in Japan and the APAC Region.
