    MEDTECH Innovator, a US nonprofit accelerator, is bullish on Asia-Pacific's young ecosystem of medtech startups. And it wants to highlight their vast potential, even as investors have turned cautious amid Covid-19, the firm's chief executive Paul Grand told The Business Times.

    The accelerator, whose Asia-Pacific headquarters is in Singapore, hopes to match more of the region's startups with medical giants for mentoring and global investors for funding. While digital health has exploded in Asia-Pacific, there is room for more innovations to be funded.
