A representative from the Gyeonggi Economic Science Institute stated, "There are a total of 1,457 medical device manufacturers in the province, most of which are small and medium-sized enterprises. Clinical trials and regulatory test analysis are essential for product sales, so support is necessary," adding, "Through this project, we expect to strengthen the competitiveness of local medical device companies, create new markets, and promote the localization of medical devices."
