Dear Members, Partners, and Friends,
We are
delighted to invite you to an exclusive field trip to China on
November 3-9, 2024, as we delve into the vibrant landscape of
China's medtech and healthcare industry.
China
has become the world’s second largest medical device market with a
tremendous growth in the past decade. With an aging population,
continuing urbanization and increasing demand of better healthcare,
there is no end in sight for this incredible market growth. Swiss
companies, reputed for their innovation prowess and top qualities,
are well positioned to unlock unparalleled opportunities with their
latest technology, quality products and premium services that can
meet the demand of the Chinese consumers.
Our
comprehensive program goes beyond mere exploration, providing
invaluable insights into key market trends and opportunities, while
addressing critical aspects of the challenges and pitfalls as well.
Upon your
arrival on Sunday in Shanghai, the program will start with a professional
two-day forum where healthcare experts, regulators, and
executives of multinationals and domestic companies will go
in-depth on topics as market access, IP protection, localization
strategy, etc.
The
program will then follow with the visit to the China
International Import Expo (CIIE), where all participating
companies will get a standard booth to exhibit their technology,
and to meet with potential partners and investors on this prominent
state-level exhibition.
Next, the
participants will have the opportunity to visit Roche China,
and subsequently also to meet with managers of other Swiss SMEs to
learn from their experiences in navigating the Chinese healthcare
market. Finally, the delegation will head to Changzhou on a 1-hour high-speed
train from Shanghai, where a cluster of international medtech companies
have set up their factories.
By
participating in this enlightening expedition, Swiss companies will
not only gain a deeper understanding of the Chinese market but also
establish meaningful connections with industry leaders, potential
partners, and government stakeholders.
Let's
embark on a journey of innovation, collaboration, and boundless
growth in one of the world's most promising healthcare markets
together. Secure your place today and seize the opportunity to
shape the future of healthcare in China while propelling your
organization to new heights of success!
This
trip is co-organized with the support of Switzerland Global Enterprise, the Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Geneva Chamber of Commerce
Industry and Services, Microcity, P&TS, China Integrated, BioAlps, and
the
Swiss-Chinese Association –
French Speaking Region.
