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.
