2019 Future Healthcare 100 Summit Unveils Product Structure for the First Time

The year-end and beginning-of-year period is undoubtedly a peak season for conferences. Many people ask: How should one choose among the myriad of overlapping events? Two months ago, we began to reflect on this question from a different perspective: What kind of conference should the Top 100 Future Healthcare Conference be? Who do we truly want to attend and listen? What core value can ensure that participants’ time is not “wasted”?

From initially summarizing the evolution of business models in the future healthcare sector and the ethics behind emerging technologies, to integrating and connecting more valuable resources from innovative enterprises, experts, government support, and high-quality industrial capital, the Future Healthcare 100 Conference has been quietly carving out its own niche.

An analysis of the participation ratios of entrepreneurs and investors across previous editions of the event reveals that:Venture capital and private equity (VC/PE) professionals constitute the core demographic among all attendee groups. Over three editions, the event has gathered nearly 2,000 innovative enterprises and close to 900 investment institutions, including seed-stage and angel investors as well as VC firms. At the 2018 conference, VC/PE professionals accounted for nearly 75% of attendees.

“The Runaway Species” extracts three fundamental laws of cognitive operations: Bending, Breaking, and Blending.

Throughout the history of human innovation, whether in technology, art, architecture, medicine, or other fields, the application of the “3B” principle is evident. By leveraging the “3B” principle, both organizations and individuals can generate a continuous stream of high-quality ideas.

We aspire for the Future Healthcare Top 100 Conference to become the “coolest” event in the field of medical innovation, truly penetrating the core of venture capital and investment relationships. To this end, it is imperative to “distort” the comfortable inertia of past thinking, “break” the cognitive boundaries of existing teams, and “integrate” industrial think tanks with greater height and depth.

Fortunately, we have received extensive guidance from a large number of investors, innovative entrepreneurs, and forward-thinking industry professionals. At the beginning of August, building on two months of prior information research, we continued to conduct one-on-one communications with over 100 investors, listed companies, and innovative enterprises—including Legend Capital, BV Baidu Ventures, HighLight Capital, Changling Capital, Yifang Group, By-Health, among others—as well as incorporating suggestions from more than 100 experience officers. Through multiple rounds of discussions, we finalized the following product structure for the conference:

Centered on Comprehensive DisplayInnovation Ecosystem in China's Health and Medical SectorandFully promote exchanges and interactions among industriesTwo Core Objectives, ConductedStrong Correlation between Venture Capital and Investment, Major Innovation, and Major FinanceSix Major Product Designs Centered Around the Core.

The Six Major Products Include: Six themed summits and 20 sub-forums covering specialized fields, the Future Healthcare Top 100 series rankings and awards, the Future Healthcare Top 100 series reports, the Future Healthcare Top 100 Exhibition, micro-documentaries on future healthcare, and a series of networking events.

The most distinctive feature of this forum is the deep involvement of investment institutions in its planning, as well as in the selection of topics and speakers, creating a multi-layered convergence of insights and integration of resources, thereby ensuring the depth and breadth of content and the richness of resources.

Regarding the six thematic forums, discussions will focus on policy, macro trends, the development of top 100 enterprises, precise LP-GP matchmaking, strategic layouts of leading enterprises, and cross-industry expansions by industry giants.

Regarding the 20 sub-sector forums, they will be co-hosted with top-tier investment firms and associations. The sub-sectors includePhysician Entrepreneurship: Transformation and UpgradingForum,Innovations in Health Insurance PaymentForum,5G + IoTForum,Consumer HealthcareForum,Pharmaceutical Marketing TransformationUpgrade Forum,Innovative Health InsuranceForum,Real-World Evidence and Medical Decision-MakingForum,Innovative Retail in Health and Medical CareForum,Microbial TechnologyApplication forums, etc.

In 2016, VCBeat released the “2016 Top 100 Future Healthcare Companies” list for the first time, targeting the healthcare industry. We quantified our observations, understanding, and insights into innovation and entrepreneurship in the healthcare sector over the past three years to identify industry leaders.

Over the past three years, in compiling our rankings, we have received support from numerous enterprises, investment institutions, and experts. Through multi-channel data acquisition, calculation, and verification, we have approached this task with utmost diligence, striving to ensure that every figure on this list withstands rigorous scrutiny.To date, a total of eight main rankings, 12 sub-rankings in specialized fields, one industrial park ranking, and one city ranking have been released. A total of 1,042 high-potential innovative enterprises were listed, reaching over 600,000 industry professionals.

This year, we are once again launching the “2019 Future Healthcare 100” annual rankings, comprising five main lists, twenty sub-lists, and twelve award categories.

The main list includesVB100 China Healthcare Services List, VB100 China Innovative Pharmaceuticals List, VB100 China Digital Health List, VB100 China Innovative Medical Devices List, VB100 Global Healthcare Innovation List; meanwhile, from four dimensions—major industry events, investment and financing热度, capital investment trends, and future development trends, set upImmunotechnology, Microbiology, Gene Editing, Internet of Things (IoT), POCT, Deep Learning, Cloud Computing Servicesand 20 other sub-lists; awards includeInvestment, Enterprise, HospitalThree Major Award Categories.

The application portals for the above rankings and awards will go live at the end of this month. Stay tuned.

Leveraging the high-quality resources and decision-making capabilities of attendees, exchanges and knowledge sharing among participants can unlock more collaboration opportunities and generate greater momentum.

The conference is expected to attract 10,000 attendees, with nearly 100 organizations exhibiting. Held concurrently with the Future Healthcare Top 100 Conference, the Future Healthcare Top 100 Exhibition centers on the release of the “Future Healthcare Top 100 List.” Spanning a 3,000-square-meter exhibition area, it brings together nearly 100 top-ranked enterprises, investment institutions, cutting-edge tech products, and cities serving as hubs for future healthcare, showcasing the core strengths of China’s future healthcare industry.

The Future Healthcare Top 100 Exhibition comprises four major zones: the Top 100 Enterprises Zone, the Capital Zone, the Black Tech Zone, and the Anchor Cities Zone.

Top 100 Enterprises Exhibition Area: A showcase area for companies listed on the past Future Healthcare 100 rankings, publicly traded enterprises, and cross-industry players. It is China’s first platform dedicated to the centralized branding, product, and technology promotion of the Top 100 healthcare companies and high-growth potential firms. Through this exhibition zone, we aim to demonstrate that there is a community of individuals and companies in the healthcare sector who are grounded in their operations, striving not only to survive but to thrive.

Capital Exhibition Zone：2Joint Exhibition Area for Top Investment Firms and Their Portfolio Companies. Rather than exchanging unfamiliar business cards, we aim to create a dedicated space that facilitates efficient, direct dialogue between “talent scouts” and “high-potential innovators” over the course of three days.

Cutting-Edge Tech Zone：MedicineWhy can’t the healthcare industry be cool? We envision this as the prototype for a future Healthcare Innovation Festival. Here, consumer-facing products in sectors such as sports and wellness, smart hardware, lifestyle health, and personal care are showcased in “tribe”-style exhibits. Amidst three days of knowledge explosions and networking sessions, take a moment to relax and experience together the cutting-edge innovations and imaginative breakthroughs emerging from the global health and wellness industry.

City Coordinates Exhibition Area: A showcase of key cities, industrial parks, and enterprises that have played a significant role in the history of innovation within China’s healthcare industry. In this exhibition area, you will gain comprehensive insights into how various cities interpret their preferential policies for attracting investment in the healthcare sector, and hear firsthand accounts from settled enterprises.

We fully recognize that the past three editions of the Future Healthcare 100 Conference fell short in facilitating meaningful interaction and engagement. To build robust relationships between investors and entrepreneurs, it is essential to offer diverse and private networking opportunities.

Entrepreneurs are always busy. It is a rare opportunity to bring together such distinguished leaders. As brief remarks at the forum could hardly do justice to the depth of discussion, a networking reception was subsequently organized.

The cocktail reception will invite forum guests and is also open to CEOs of innovative enterprises participating in the forum, as well as general managers of business units at listed companies and above. We hope that at this year-end gala, old friends will reunite, new friendships will be forged, and amidst the clinking of glasses, endless possibilities will emerge. (Admission tickets must be purchased separately and are subject to organizer approval.)

“Future Healthcare Industry Tree Report”: This is China’s first comprehensive knowledge graph of the medical and health industry. Diverging from traditional upstream-downstream industry chain analysis, it examines demand trends among healthcare service providers through four lenses: social, economic, policy, and ecological. By tracking these core shifts in demand, it explores solutions for niche segments, analyzes required facilities, and highlights tools and corporate case studies driven by technological and business model innovations. In doing so, it maps out a panoramic view of the innovative healthcare industry, leveraging a unique perspective to penetrate surface-level industry phenomena, identify core issues, uncover industrial opportunities, and forecast development trends.

"Future Healthcare Top 100 Companies Growth Report": The first in-depth report in China to analyze the growth trajectories of the top 100 most valuable non-listed healthcare innovation companies. Building on the list of the Top 100 Future Healthcare Companies, VCBeat Institute will examine how these enterprises have grown from small startups into unicorns in the healthcare sector, identifying the key factors that propelled their development at each critical juncture. We have selected a subset of companies from the Top 100 list that we frequently cover to deconstruct their development histories—spanning the startup, growth, transformation, and maturity phases—pinpointing the key drivers of transformation at each stage, thereby identifying the Chinese innovative enterprises that truly represent the future of healthcare.

Over 10 Sub-Forum Reports on Niche Sectors: In alignment with the distinctive features of this conference forum, numerous investment institutions will jointly participate in compiling the report, concretizing their analyses and insights into high-potential sectors.Cognitive evolution stems from symbiosis; we aim to launch our own “Theory of Evolution” for 2020 here.

As China marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic and the 10th anniversary of the new healthcare reform, “innovation” has become the keyword for the development of China’s healthcare industry. We aim to produce the country’s first micro-documentary series focused on the history of innovation in China’s healthcare sector, sharing insights and practices from key enterprises and figures, and documenting ongoing samples of medical innovation.

Let us focus the lens on the key figures driving the transformation, upgrading, and innovation of healthcare enterprises, authentically documenting their wisdom, lives, and dreams. We aim to vividly narrate stories of medical industry innovation infused with Chinese wisdom, recreating the pivotal moments in the history of China’s healthcare innovation. Here, we do not offer a specific methodology for innovation, but rather provide a perspective, a direction, and an underlying pattern.

The video will be launched and released at the Top 100 Future Healthcare Conference.

A group of people come together to undertake significant endeavors. If they are fortunate enough to develop a shared understanding and maintain a positive mindset, their collaboration will endure longer. If they are further blessed with shared values, their partnership will extend even farther. However, what truly belongs to the future is invariably built upon your passion for the healthcare innovation industry, your willingness to endure the side effects inherent in this sector, and your readiness to remain ever vigilant.

2019: The scenery along the way is beautiful, and the sun shines brightly in the sky. We are delighted to continue on this path and look forward to meeting you again at the end of the year.
