Information about Entrepreneur
The founder of Artistic Biomedical, Ms. Hung Lai, was born and raised in a modest single-parent family. Sheer perseverance and ambition led her to establish her first dental clinic while she was still in university. Now, Hung Lai is not only a successful businesswoman, but also a mother and an advocate for medical justice.

Founded by Ms. Hung Lai in 2012, Artistic Biomedical has accumulated 12 years of service experience in Taiwan. To date, the company has served over 200 thousand patients and has nearly 100 dentists and up to 200 staff members. Last year, the company achieved NTD 900 million in annual revenue.

Through effective management strategies and continuous innovation, Hung Lai has successfully positioned Artistic Biomedical as a leading dental brand in Taiwan, consistently leading her team to new heights.

Her management philosophy focuses on “Let Numbers Speak and Strength Prove,” establishing a sophisticated management and performance evaluation system that has transformed Artistic Biomedical into a highly efficient and automated team, earning the market's deep trust through its capabilities.

Most people have a preconceived stereotype of entrepreneurs as being ‘older males’ and often hold a negative image of female entrepreneurs, often saying "She must be failing at managing her family" or "She must be relying on family wealth."

Hung Lai is not a doctor and she doesn’t come from a specialized background. Hence, when she started her business at a young age, she vowed that she would strengthen her abilities.

Her entrepreneurial journey has been far from smooth. In the early stages, she faced differences in business philosophy with her partner. Later, a misguided belief in the prestige of doctors led to a failed clinic acquisition. As if that weren't enough, the Covid-19 pandemic struck, further challenging her. However, her indomitable spirit and unwavering persistence pushed her to continue managing her brand, build a professional team, and actively expand to other cities and counties. This allowed more people in different regions to become familiar with Artistic Biomedical, leading to continuous growth in revenue.

Hung Lai realized how complex the market is after discovering that most people fear the "unpredictable cost of dental implants." As a result, she became an advocate for affordable dental implants, committed to making dental prices transparent, and transforming the traditional clinical environment. Her goal was to alleviate patient fears of the doctor's authority, as well as the expensive and unclear treatments, encouraging patients to willingly seek dental care.

This advocacy, however, led to backlash from competitors who saw her as a threat to their financial interests. In response, she rallied over 30 people from more than 10 counties across Taiwan to form a coalition to establish an affordable dental care association, continuing her efforts for affordable healthcare.

Other Interesting Facts about Entrepreneur
Hung Lai firmly believes that “continuous innovation is the key to long-term survival in a fiercely competitive environment.” Over the past 12 years, Artistic Biomedical has weathered many storms, including the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, she has remained steadfast, leading Artistic Biomedical to reclaim its peak, uncover unmet market demands, and create a new value system with outstanding strategies.

Having contributed significantly to ensure comprehensive upgrades to medical equipment in clinical settings, Hung Lai has not only rewritten the rules of the healthcare market but has also propelled Artistic Biomedical onto the international stage.

She believes, "Whoever seizes the market first will own the future." This belief has driven Artistic Biomedical's transformation from a single clinic into an international group encompassing diverse oral healthcare brands, setting a new benchmark in the global dental market.

Company Achievements & Role as Entrepreneur
The success of the Artistic Biomedical Group is not only reflected in its rapid growth in performance but also in its grand vision for globalization. Under the successful leadership of Hung Lai, the Artistic Biomedical Group expanded to over 22 clinics across Taiwan, with a total of nearly 200 employees, and achieved an annual revenue of NTD 700 million by the end of 2023, representing a year-on-year growth of 102%.

Demonstrating her international vision, Hung Lai has successfully expanded into new ventures such as Artistic Biomed, Artistic Marketing Consultants, and Heidi Biomed. These initiatives aim to capitalize on her company's proven track record and elevate the global recognition of Taiwanese dental brands, laying a solid foundation for future growth.

Vision, Mission, & Future Plans
Artistic Dental will soon announce a significant international partnership to provide more high quality yet affordable products and services to patients at clinics in Taiwan and abroad. Additionally, the company plans to replicate its successful experience in Taiwan by expanding into Southeast Asia, officially marking its entry into the international market.

Through Hung Lai's story, she wants to encourage young people: "Success is not defined by a single standard; becoming the person you aspire to be is a form of success!"
