- according to the Asian Development Bank, the GDP growth rate of Asian countries, with the exception of Japan, will be 4.1% this year, instead of the previously predicted 4%;
- the growth of social guarantees from the state: assistance to people with disabilities has been an important strategic direction in the social policy of the PRC since the 90s of the twentieth century, and in India the expected amount of health care spending in 2021 will be about $205.3 billion;
- active introduction of technologies: the Asian region, according to experts, will soon become a flagship not only in the information and communication technologies market, but also in the digital economy;
- in the region there are more than 20 thousand children and more than 220 thousand adults with amputation of the upper limbs.
| | author '= Ilya Chekh, CEO of Motorika Asia is a kind of magnet for young, tech and progressive companies. We focused on two countries - India and China. In India, more than 1000 children are born annually with hand injuries and about 23.5 thousand amputation operations are carried out. There is a need for an inexpensive prosthetics solution that we can provide. In turn, China is an excellent development opportunity in the venture capital industry. | |
| | The company "Motorica" only in 2018 began to actively promote its products to foreign markets. Since the project is difficult to scale, colleagues have developed models of work, taking into account regional specifics. Thus, the founders of the company bring to another level the rehabilitation industry and the availability of solutions outside Russia, developing and testing a platform solution for the use of technical means of rehabilitation. | |
The global goal of Motorics is to form a platform and product that takes into account the specifics of customers in this region and the regulatory framework of Asia.
