Garmin Health Summit APAC Taipei Wrap-up
The inaugural APAC Garmin Health Summit took place in Taipei on Oct. 24-25, 2019. Matching the great success of the Garmin Health Summit in Europe, the fully booked APAC event hosted guests from 47 different companies for presentations and discussions between digital health industry leaders from all over the world.
The summit began with attendees enjoying an exclusive opportunity to see the production line at Garmin’s newest factory. An evening event featured a keynote speech by Vincent Shi, SCOR/ReMark Group head of China and South Asia titled “Beyond Life: The Experience of Living.” Representatives from insurance industries, healthcare technology providers and IoT services had a chance to network on innovative ways to combine their solutions.
On day two, guests returned for a full day of thought-provoking speeches and discussions.
