What's exciting?

What's the downside?

  • 🌍 Regulatory Challenges: Operating across multiple countries involves navigating complex healthcare regulations and policies, which could pose challenges to scaling.

  • πŸ’° Economic Fluctuations: The business model relies on international travel, which can be sensitive to global economic conditions and currency fluctuations.

  • πŸ–₯️ Technology Dependence: Heavy reliance on AI and digital platforms could be a vulnerability if technical issues arise or if there's resistance to technology adoption among traditional healthcare providers.

This venture shows high potential in a rapidly growing market. If Qonaq can effectively leverage its AI-driven platform and global partnerships, it could capture a significant market share. 🌍️ 

However, success will depend on navigating regulatory complexities, managing international operations, and maintaining service quality during rapid growth. πŸ“ˆ
