The two-week event is divided into the following sessions:

  • Keynote Speeches

Witness the emergence of China biotech innovation

As of November 5th, in 2021 there has been 29 China out-licensing and 93 in-licensing transactions have been successfully closed, representing a 20+% YOY growth. It is a symbol of the rise of China biotech innovation as a result of China’s massive investment and favorable regulatory changes. As a facilitator between China biotech innovation and the rest of the world, our forum plans to present 50+ China and 50+ global biotech companies who are looking for partnering opportunities.
