Invitation Letter
Over the past decade, the rise of China’s biotech sector and the transformation and upgrading of domestic enterprises have laid the foundation for infrastructure development and pilot initiatives in the country’s pharmaceutical innovation industry. Amidst shifting international dynamics and economic cycles, the rules governing venture capital investment in pharmaceutical innovation are undergoing volatile adjustments. The ecosystem for innovative drugs in China is experiencing profound and far-reaching changes, breaking down the self-contained systems of Biotech and Pharma companies. The new arena for innovation requires concerted collaboration among Biotech firms, Pharma companies, capital investors, and new infrastructure.
The zeitgeist of reshaping, adjustment, and uncertainty is projected onto every enterprise and individual. Yet we can “continuously break the shackles of conventional thinking and seek pathways that connect all things,” evolving and advancing together.
“2023 Pharmaceutical Innovation Trend Conference · Investment and BD Partnership” will be held in Suzhou on October 21, the conference is dedicated to fostering integration and exchange among biotech, pharma, capital, and new infrastructure sectors, enabling attendees to “meet new people and gain new insights.” It provides scarce networking value and has become a trusted barometer for venture capital investment and business development (BD) partnerships in China’s innovative drug industry.
