As part of Forsyth dentech 2022, we are proud to partner with our sponsors. This post, from one of our platinum sponsors, CareCapital, is the first of the series highlighting their companies and their interest in the dentech.
Dai Feng is the co-founder and a managing director of CareCapital, a platinum sponsor of dentech 2022. Dai was also the keynote speaker at our inaugural dentech conference. We asked him to answer a few questions for us about the oral health innovation ecosystem and why CareCapital is excited to partner with Forsyth for dentech 2022.

As a long-time fan of Forsyth, CareCapital shares the same mission with the Forsyth Institute.
It’s terrific to be involved with Forsyth Dentech and witness how science is applied to solve the real-world oral care problems and how the amazing ideas gather together, inspire each other, and become more powerful.
What do you think is the potential impact of Forsyth Dentech on the oral health technology ecosystem?
Forsyth Dentech provides an inter-science, multi-disciplinary communication platform that brings together professionals from a wide range of experiences, including dentistry, biomedicine, materials science, artificial intelligence, clinical management, insurance and beyond.
It is a holistic technology ecosystem, from understanding of clinical context, to first-hand feedback from seasoned investors and executives, to the commercializing of technology. So, absolutely, I believe Forsyth Dentech is bringing connection and empowerment to the oral care technology ecosystem.
