Our Firm

Medical TEC was founded with the goal of providing an efficient and highly professional means to address the increasing demand from Latin American health care institutions and businesses to learn about, evaluate, and incorporate advanced Israeli technologies in the fields of medicine and hospital systems and services. 

There multiple challenges and barriers for fluid communication between Latin American health care institutions and businesses and Israeli vendors of advanced technology. Geographic distances, language barriers, cultural differences, and lack of familiarity with local business customs and other relevant factors make it difficult to exploit the potential of Israeli medical technologies in Latin American markets. Medical TEC serves as a bridge and facilitator for principal parties in Latin America and Israel to overcome these challenges and achieve win-win outcomes.
