Cross-border business development in medtech is rarely a straight line. Between regulatory complexity, reimbursement variability, cultural nuances, and market-specific needs, expanding into new regions requires more than a product—it demands a strategy. At a recent LSI medtech conference in Europe, panelists Eliane Schutte (Xeltis), Jeffrey Sirek (PRIA Healthcare), Pieter Wijffels (NLC Health Ventures), and Sabine Kapasi (Enira Consulting), led by moderator Ajay Nair (The Mullings Group), tackled the topic head-on. Drawing from firsthand experience across Europe, the United States, China, India, and the Middle East, they explored what it takes to succeed in cross-border business development—from diligence and IP to commercialization, licensing, and culture.

Raising capital is always a challenge, but raising capital from family offices requires an entirely different playbook. That was the message from the LSI Europe ’24 panel, where entrepreneurs and investors broke down the unique advantages—and nuances—of working with family offices instead of traditional medtech venture capital. Moderated by Alexei Mlodinow, former CEO and co-founder of SIA, the conversation featured insights from Marie-Louise Little (TW Medical A/S), Tyler Wanke (Wanke Family Office), John Slump (Atraverse Medical), and Pablo Prieto (CG Health Ventures). Together, they offered a candid look at what it takes to earn trust, navigate timelines, and build relationships that can unlock transformational support for medtech companies.
