Sequoia Global Healthcare Innovation Summit 2021: 16 Panels, 40+ Global Thought Leaders Unite in Shanghai

On March 26, 2021, the “Sequoia Global Healthcare Industry Summit” will officially kick off in Shanghai!

This marks the first large-scale industry summit publicly hosted by Sequoia China in its 16-year history, and a premier healthcare conference leveraging the “Sequoia Health” IP to mobilize global industrial resources.

Spanning nine consecutive hours, the event featured simultaneous online and offline live streaming, with over 40 top industry leaders engaging in 16 peak dialogues. The discussions covered four major themes: cutting-edge technology, public health, medical diagnosis and treatment, and digital health.

This also marks Sequoia China’s renewed focus on healthcare, launching version 2.0 of its Healthcare Industry Summit, following the “2020 Annual Healthcare Innovation Summit” held in San Francisco at the beginning of last year. The event brings together top experts from leading hospitals worldwide, new drug developers, cutting-edge scientists, and entrepreneurs for a premier healthcare gathering of the highest caliber.

Great winds rise from the tips of duckweed. The unprecedented attention now paid to healthcare and medicine did not happen overnight; it is inseparable from a cohort of outstanding pharmaceutical professionals, scientists, investors, and all other builders of this ecosystem, who have devoted themselves wholeheartedly and worked diligently behind the scenes for ten or twenty years.

Soaring Like the Roc on a Ninety-Thousand-Li Wind. The ravages of the pandemic have posed immense threats to human society, while simultaneously presenting significant opportunities for the healthcare industry. Seizing the strongest pulse of global healthcare industry development is an imperative of our times.

The road is long and fraught with obstacles, but perseverance leads to success. We strive to catalyze a convergence of the world’s most cutting-edge technological capabilities, the most advanced medical expertise, and the most patient capital, thereby identifying strategic solutions for the industry and charting the future course of life sciences.

At that time, you will witness one-on-one in-depth conversations between Neil Shen, Global Executive Partner of Sequoia Capital, and three distinguished guests: a world-leading Chinese AI scientist, a highly seasoned cell immunotherapy scientist, and the head of a top innovative pharmaceutical company in China. Together, they will explore how technology is illuminating the “dark spaces” in healthcare.

You will witness Nobel laureates, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and professors from top universities worldwide gathering together for face-to-face exchanges with China’s most outstanding entrepreneurs in the healthcare industry. Topics range from cancer immunotherapy to gene and cell therapy, and from drug selection and vaccine development to the creation of new smart healthcare ecosystems. The intellectual exchange between academia and industry offers a unique opportunity to navigate through the “narrow gate” of innovation into the broad avenue of industrial application, making this the most dynamic and inspiring arena for sparking breakthroughs.

You will also see a sincere lineup of cross-industry collaborations and cutting-edge technologies. Huawei, Tencent, iFlytek... You can see how the current healthcare industry is using digital technology as its foundation to build a systematic ecosystem that includes digital medical services, digital pharmaceutical distribution, digital health insurance, and digital health management. You will also see how they are infusing this ancient and traditional field with the colors of technology and the future.

On March 26, 2021, we lifted the curtain!
