What Medtech Scientific does

Medtech Scientific (MTS), founded in 2012 and headquartered in Dubai, is an investor and service provider specializing in tracking and monitoring, destination inspection, verification of conformity, testing, and certification services for governments and corporations. The company aggregates advanced technologies (cargo scanning, ECTN, Port Single Window, Central Electronic Inventory Register, MSSP) into integrated platforms designed to address customs revenue leakage, port bottlenecks, compliance gaps, and security exposures. Core services include Destination Inspection (DI), Verification of Conformity (VoC), Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN), Port Single Window (PSW), Central Electronic Inventory Register (CEIR), Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), vehicle inspection, and capacity-building programs that prepare local staff to take over operations under BOT concessions.

MTS commercializes through direct government contracting and public-private partnerships, typically structured as Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concessions or service-provision agreements with customs authorities, port operators, standards bodies, and vehicle licensing agencies. Revenue is generated through transaction-fee based inspection services, recurring managed services subscriptions (PSW, CEIR, MSSP), managed service contracts, and project-based professional services. Operating geographies span the Middle East (UAE), Europe (UK), and West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia), with named customers including the Government of Liberia, Ghana Standards Authority, SONCAP Nigeria, Scanport (Tema port), and Ghana DVLA. The company maintains operational offices in Dubai, London, Accra, and Monrovia, with a major Destination Inspection Facility under construction at the Freeport of Monrovia under a Liberian PPP expected to complete in August 2026.
