Two global players in healthcare research, China’s Holden Healthcare and Japan’s Seed Planning, have joined forces to form a strategic partnership with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region.
The collaboration was made in an effort to boost physician panel access in outlying markets in the area and supporting project management and operations.
“We believe that this joint partnership will be momentous and give us a significant advantage in Asia with a sharpened focus on China and Japan,” said Jeffrey Kelsch, Holden Healthcare’s Managing Partner and head of US operations. “Previously having partnered on multiple fieldwork projects with Seed Planning, we anticipate a seamless delivery in providing easy and less-expensive services, coupled with the local know-how of the Japan market, at our same high-quality standards.”
Meanwhile, Seed Planning’s Senior Executive Officer, Gaku Sasaki said: “We are seeing a great deal of interest in the Asian markets and this collaboration allows us to offer faster, scalable, and more affordable research operational capabilities to well-exceed client’s research goals.”
“For a long time, I have wanted to provide a comprehensive suite of services in Asia. This cooperation with Holden Healthcare will now solidify our market presence as a trusted leader with local expertise.”
Established in 2008, Holden Healthcare leads a panel of over 250,000 healthcare professionals across 14 Asian markets. Japan’s Seed Planning was formed in 1982 and focuses in market research and consulting services for medical and pharmaceutical industries in the country.
