Innovation as the Driving Force: Reshaping the Future — 2023 Health China Industry Leaders Forum to Unveil New Horizons
Under the swinging pendulum of the times, the industrial landscape is being reshuffled. Among all sectors, the big health industry has been the first to benefit from favorable macro policies and strong enthusiasm from the capital market.
Policy-wise, the report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized advancing the Healthy China initiative, placing the protection of people’s health at a strategic priority for development, and improving policies for health promotion.
On the market front, the RMB 13 trillion health and wellness market has provided fertile ground for numerous star startups in the sector, making healthcare and medical services a “sunrise industry” of the 21st century.
On the capital front, according to data from VCBeat, global healthcare financing reached a record high in 2021, with a growth rate of 61% and nearly 4,000 financing deals. Substantial capital continues to flow into the healthcare industry.
Behind the booming healthcare market lies China’s accumulated strength from decades of investment in healthcare infrastructure, the continuous iteration of growing patient demands, and the deepening advancement of medical technological capabilities.
As technology advances, the healthcare industry stands on the brink of profound transformation. The institutional barriers being dismantled by technological progress in this field are yielding unpredictable consequences. Precisely because the landscape remains unsettled, some individuals are breaking free from rigid mindsets, undaunted by challenges, in their pursuit of optimal solutions to the medical issues of our time.

The 2023 Healthy China Industry Leaders Forum, convened this time, is dedicated to building a platform for voicing cutting-edge technologies in the healthcare industry and sustaining the resource platform that extends the influence of the Healthy China Industry Leaders initiative. It aims to link and gather core resources from government, industry, academia, research, medical practice, and investment sectors related to medical technology, thereby facilitating more efficient and rapid commercialization of scientific achievements. Overall, the conference features three major highlights worth anticipating:
First, the authority of the organizer will establish a professional tone for the forum.This forum is hosted by the PBC School of Finance at Tsinghua University and co-organized by the School of Medicine at Tsinghua University. It aims to connect core resources from government, industry, academia, research, healthcare, and investment sectors within the medical technology industry, taking concrete actions to support the grand blueprint of “Healthy China.” The forum is an extension of the “Healthy China Industry Leaders” program, a joint initiative launched by the School of Medicine and the PBC School of Finance at Tsinghua University. This program marks the first inter-departmental collaboration on advanced training since the university’s founding, representing a meaningful and innovative exploration in interdisciplinary integration. It seeks to jointly recruit senior executives from large healthcare enterprises, strategically minded industrial investors, entrepreneurs focused on transitioning their businesses toward the broader health sector, and innovators and entrepreneurs in the big health field, with the goal of achieving tangible industrial impact and serving society.
Second, top-tier industry leaders can bring deep insights and reflections to the conference.This forum spans six key sectors—government, industry, academia, research, healthcare, and investment—aiming to comprehensively showcase China’s medical science and technology innovation ecosystem and foster robust cross-industry exchange and interaction. The event has invited over 60 industry leaders to discuss the “barometers” of medical technology development. Academicians and discipline leaders will provide in-depth insights, while prominent figures from multinational corporations, listed companies, seasoned investors, and innovative enterprises will deliver systematic presentations on the most cutting-edge medical technology scenarios.
The forum adopted a “1+2+1” structure, comprising one main forum, two parallel forums, and one pitch session, to fully ensure the depth, breadth, cutting-edge nature of the content, and the richness of resources.
Among them, the main forum will serve as a platform to centrally present the insights of industry participants.Government Leaders, Academicians and Scientists, Discipline Leaders, Entrepreneurs, InvestorsA “brainstorming” session will be held, covering macro-environmental factors and future trends of interest to the industry, including policy, technology, and capital.
The parallel forums will focus on two key areas—biotechnology and smart healthcare—with discussions centered on critical issues such as how biotechnology is leading drug development and how cutting-edge technologies are empowering the clinical application and commercial value of new drugs.
In addition, the forum has created an open venture capital and investment environment, featuring a special roadshow for innovative pharmaceutical and healthcare projects in 2023, with six carefully selectedTsinghua-affiliated High-quality ProjectsParticipate in the open on-site roadshow, with invited renowned investment institutions providing live commentary; attendees may register to watch.
As the clarion call for medical technology innovation sounds, where lie the opportunities across various specialized sectors? Why is the translation of medical research achievements into practical applications essential in this era? How can we assess the prospects of the healthcare industry from a financial perspective? This forum focuses on the myriad issues arising from medical technology, leveraging benchmark perspectives from both China and abroad to analyze cutting-edge medical technologies, industry trends, and business innovations.
Seizing the opportunities presented by the high-quality development of Beijing’s Sub-Center, the establishment of a pharmaceutical and healthcare industry cluster has been incorporated into the Sub-Center’s 14th Five-Year Plan, designating it as a key priority for regional support. The “2023 Healthy China Industry Leaders Forum,” held in Tongzhou District, Beijing, aims to propel the growth of the health industry by fostering medical interaction, integrating industry with research and development, and promoting collaborative innovation within the broader health sector. This forum serves as a premier platform for stakeholders across the medical technology ecosystem to exchange ideas, collaborate, and voice their perspectives, while also extending a special invitation to more dedicated practitioners to join the “Healthy China” initiative. We look forward to meeting you at this event, enjoying the scenic beauty of the Tongzhou Canal, and jointly strategizing for the advancement of the medical industry.
