Healthtech startups ramp upUS, UAE ops as demand soars

The US and the UAE are emerging as key overseas markets for local healthtech startups, with several companies moving from pilot launches to commercial expansion, as demand for digital healthcare solutions accelerates in both regions.

Founders and investors say the two markets offer faster adoption cycles and greater willingness to pay for technology-led healthcare products compared with many emerging markets. The trend is also being supported by Indian startups building globally competitive products and tapping diaspora networks for early adoption.
