China has recently introduced key policies in cross-border data transfer, cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence. In August 2023, China unveiled the inaugural Generative Artificial Intelligence Service Management Interim Measures, outlining regulations governing AI services, including data training, manual annotation, and user information. In December 2023, the draft Cybersecurity Incident Reporting Management Measures established reporting standards and guidelines for handling cyber breaches. Most recently, the new rules for cross-border data transfer were launched in March.
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape, it is crucial to explore the latest policies on cross-border data transfers, data authentication, and data sharing. Understanding these policies means foreign companies can adopt a global approach to cybersecurity and compliance, enabling them to review and enhance their regional cybersecurity policies and practices.
The European Chamber's Cybersecurity Conference 2024 will bring together professionals and experts from various sectors, including law and consulting firms, industrial players, and major data processors to share their insights on the future of China’s data flow security landscape and possible solutions for all relevant parties.

Over the last decades, the lifestyle of Chinese residents has undergone significant changes due to the rapid processes of industrialisation, urbanisation, and population aging. This transformation has presented new challenges in the health domain. In response, the Chinese Government has prioritised 'Healthy China' since 2016.

This trend creates opportunities for biopharmaceutical companies, supported by favourable policies from local governments. Qidong Economic Development Zone, located in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, is one of the examples. With the life-health industry as one of its key pillars, it has issued subsidy policies and now boasts over 60 biopharmaceutical companies.

The European Chamber invites you to join this session for further insights into the future of the life-health domain.
