History
The ambitious pursuit of innovation
MicroPort® was founded in 1998 in a small office in ZJ Hi-Tech Park in Shanghai, by a group of dedicated individuals who shared the belief that advancements in medical technology could transform patients’ lives. This core belief has driven us to constantly innovate through a super-conglomerate of people-centric enterprises.
Today, we proudly reflect on our journey of breaking barriers and accelerating access to life-changing technologies. This commitment continues to drive us as we seek partnerships and collaborations with healthcare professionals and medical societies to foster innovation that could transform medical treatments. Our goal remains unchanged: contributing to improve the lives of patients worldwide, so they can enjoy better and longer lives.
