The webinar started off with Mr. Amarit Charoenphan, Co-founder of Hubba, CIO & Co-founder of Techsauce, giving his keynote speech to open the event. Mr. Charoenphan is a leader in the startup community and is very active in helping entrepreneurs grow. His passion in the industry has led him to angel invest in many of the top Thai startups and coaches over 100 different startups founders annually. 

Mr. Charoenphan introduced the first featured startup, Meticuly and its CEO and Co-founder Mr. Boonrat Lohwongwatana who gave a background on the company’s history and gave a presentation on how Meticuly is contributing to the Thai medical industry. 

Dr. Boonrat Lohwongwatana, Chief Executive Officer of Meticuly said:

“Meticuly aims to correct, reconstruct, and replace bone deformities in the fields of orthopaedics, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery. Instead of off-the-shelf standard-sized implants to treat patients with bone deformity, Meticuly provides state-of-the-art pre-operative planning, surgical guides and implants that are tailored to fit with individual patients.”

“Bones are produced differently and have different densities depending on each person. In order for the body to accept and integrate the implant, we design implants that suit the patient using AI-based design technology and 3D manufacturing,”

As one of its activities, JETRO has launched a team which accelerates open innovation between Japanese corporates and foreign start-ups. In order to address social problems within Japan, JETRO will bridge Japanese corporates and foreign startups who have cutting-edge technologies and disruptive business strategies by offering opportunities for foreign startups to attend Japanese exhibitions or dispatching Japanese delegations to the countries where there are advanced innovation ecosystems.
