Riding the Tide of Transformation: Registration Opens for the 2018 Future Healthcare 100 Forum – Explore Six Key Tracks
In 2018, policy breakthroughs led to a surge in internet hospitals, unlocking the trillion-yuan market for prescription outflow. New specialty drugs and long-term medications for chronic diseases began flowing out of medical institutions, creating new development opportunities for hospital-adjacent pharmacies, DTP (Direct-to-Patient) pharmacies, chain drugstores, pharmaceutical e-commerce platforms, and prescription-sharing platforms. However, these entities also face challenges related to benefit distribution and prescription fulfillment.
In 2018, commercial health insurance organically integrated with health management, pharmaceutical retail, and medical services, increasingly becoming a significant payer of medical costs and allocator of healthcare resources. Nevertheless, it remains essential to continuously strengthen technological capabilities and enrich insurtech services and products, thereby “empowering” the health insurance market through big data and artificial intelligence technologies.
In 2018, driven by the introduction of two policies—the Development Plan for New-Generation Artificial Intelligence and the Opinions on Promoting the Development of “Internet + Healthcare”—capital flooded into the sector, giving rise to numerous highly valued AI startups; however, viable commercialization pathways remained under exploration.
In 2018, Mindray went public through an initial public offering (IPO), and Sinopharm Holdings acquired Sinopharm Medical Devices for RMB 5.1 billion, triggering a major reshuffle in the medical device industry and ushering in a comprehensive era of outsourcing. Driven by reforms in listing regulations, innovative pharmaceutical companies such as MicuRx, Innovent Biologics, and Ascletis Pharma flocked to go public, with commercialization just around the corner.
In 2018, the fields of genetics and oncology testing were poised for rapid growth, microbiomics gradually matured under policy guidance, and consumer genetic testing entered the “double-digit” era.
……
Policy is a tide, capital is a tide, and technological innovation is also a tide. These forces interact, influence, and compound one another, jointly propelling the healthcare industry toward the future.
In December 2018, the “2018 Top 100 Future Healthcare Forum,” themed “Trending ING,” will be held, hosted by VCBeat, Eggshell Research Institute, and the Future Healthcare Academy. This forum will join hands with the most innovative and forward-looking enterprises and institutions in the industry to create a grand gathering of thousands of participants. Leveraging the release of the Top 100 Future Healthcare List and the Top 100 Future Healthcare Series Awards, the event will bring together the most active healthcare innovation enterprises, listed companies, financial institutions, and medical organizations from both domestic and international markets. Fifteen parallel forums will be held, focusing on the year’s hottest topics in the healthcare sector, including intelligent imaging, digital hospitals, innovative drugs, and health insurance innovation. These initiatives aim to promote effective interaction and cooperation across the industry chain and accelerate the rapid development of the most high-growth potential sectors and enterprises.

We expect to invite nearly 200 speakers, aiming to deliver a three-day feast of ideas for innovators in the healthcare sector.
They hail from the realm of wild, untamed innovation.

Top 100 Future Healthcare Companies List
Discovering the Core Forces of China's Future Healthcare Industry
In 2016, VCBeat released the inaugural “Top 100 Future Healthcare Companies of 2016” list for the healthcare industry. We quantified our observations, insights, and understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship in the healthcare sector over the past three years to identify the industry’s leading enterprises.
In 2017, the compilation of our ranking list garnered greater support from industry stakeholders, including enterprises, investment institutions, experts, and scholars. Through multi-channel data acquisition, calculation, and verification, we approached this task with utmost diligence and reverence, striving to ensure that every datum on the list withstands rigorous scrutiny.
This year, we have once again launched the “2018 Top 100 Future Healthcare Companies List.”
It remains the mission of the “Top 100 Future Healthcare Companies” list to select Chinese innovative healthcare enterprises that truly represent the future of medicine, thereby identifying the core forces driving China’s future healthcare industry.
So, what trends will the healthcare industry exhibit in 2018? Will these trends benefit or hinder companies across various sectors? In the 2018 Future Healthcare Top 100 ranking, which companies will make the list, and which will be left out?
The answer lies within this list, and we will unveil it for you on the forum.
Compared to last year, this year has added 15 new sub-category rankings in specialized fields such as medical AI, pediatric clinics, innovative drugs, rehabilitation robots, and early cancer screening. These additions provide a more intuitive and incisive reflection of industry development, as well as the positioning and competitiveness of enterprises within these increasingly segmented sectors.

The Secret Gathering Behind That Door
Private Cocktail Reception
In-Depth Exchanges with Forum Guests
Entrepreneurs are always busy. It is a rare opportunity to bring together such distinguished leaders. As brief exchanges at the forum could hardly do justice to the depth of discussion, a private cocktail reception was consequently organized.
The cocktail reception will invite forum guests and is also open to CXOs of innovative enterprises participating in the forum, as well as general managers of business divisions 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, infinite possibilities will emerge.
Tickets for the private cocktail party can be purchased on the forum’s official website, subject to approval by the organizer.
We began in the Heroic Year of 2014–2015, stood together in the “Eye of the Storm” awaiting the dawn as we crossed over with the Sword of Dawn, and journeyed side by side through the “Cambrian Explosion Era.” In 2018, as trailblazers in the healthcare sector, we set sail together, “tiding” toward the future!
