MedNovum – Success begins at the turning point

MedNovum is a pioneering company in Vietnam specializing in legal consultancy and medical device registration, having worked with numerous global clients. The company aims to expand into Canada to develop its market and reach more potential partners, but it still faces challenges related to brand recognition, marketing, and networking.

Initial challenges

In Vietnam, MedNovum is recognized as one of the pioneering and professional firms in providing consultancy services for the classification, declaration, and registration of medical devices for market authorization. Beyond conventional advisory roles, MedNovum boasts a team of experts, including lawyers, doctors, pharmaceutical science postgraduates, and seasoned lecturers from leading hospitals and medical universities across the country.

The combination of a solid legal foundation and extensive medical expertise has enabled MedNovum to earn the trust of discerning clients from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The company has also achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management system, reaffirming its credibility and reputation in the industry.

However, to enhance customer engagement and leverage the benefits of free trade agreements (especially the CPTPP), MedNovum aims to establish a commercial presence in Canada — one of the world’s major hubs for medical device manufacturing and investment, with over 600 active manufacturers. Through this presence, MedNovum Canada will not only support Canadian manufacturers in distributing their products in Vietnam (including market research, product classification, document translation, legal advisory, and registration for market authorization) but also create opportunities for Vietnamese businesses to export their products to Canada.

Despite its international experience, MedNovum still faces several challenges in expanding into Canada, including limited brand recognition in the Canadian market, the absence of a well-structured marketing strategy to reach the right target audience, and difficulties in building a strong network of local clients and partners.

Solutions provided by NexusNovum

In partnership with MedNovum, NexusNovum is implementing a comprehensive strategic solution to help the company quickly adapt and gradually establish operations in Canada:

  • Completing legal procedures: advisory services on overseas investment and the establishment of a legal entity in Canada, ensuring compliance with the laws of both Canada and Vietnam.
  • Operational model development: Designing business processes tailored to the cultural characteristics and market demands of Canada, while balancing short-term objectives with long-term goals.
  • Strategic location: Advising on the selection of a headquarters in British Columbia, a hub for numerous medical device manufacturers.
  • Multichannel marketing strategy: Developing a digital communication plan (LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Ads, Email Marketing) combined with in-depth content. The strategy focuses on targeted engagement rather than mass outreach, aiming to build trust and encourage word-of-mouth referrals.
  • Networking: Introducing MedNovum to industry associations and chambers of commerce in Canada to expand collaboration opportunities.
  • Human resources: Supporting the recruitment of local staff and coordinating the deployment of experts from Vietnam to Canada, ensuring smooth operations from the early stages.
  • Trade promotion: Providing consulting and registration support for participation in medical exhibitions, trade fairs, and industry conferences in Canada to increase networking opportunities.
  • Monitoring & optimization: Continuously measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and making adjustments to ensure high performance and cost efficiency.

Result

With a meticulously crafted strategy and dedicated support from NexusNovum, MedNovum Canada has achieved the following milestones:
Established an official commercial presence in Canada, reaffirming a long-term commitment to North American clients.
Built a sustainable network with industry associations and medical device companies in Canada.
Enhanced brand recognition through marketing campaigns and business networking activities.
Expanded cross-border consulting services, supporting Canadian businesses in entering the Vietnamese market and vice versa.

This journey has laid the foundation for MedNovum’s globalization strategy, reaffirming its role as a legal and strategic bridge between Vietnam and North America. Success begins with a single turning point — and for MedNovum, that turning point is Canada.
