The TPP Healthcare China Partnering Forum provides attendees with an opportunity to understand the complexities of the Chinese health care market through a combination of company presentations, educational panels and 1-on-1 meetings. There is no additional fee to participate in the China Partnering Forum for full-access attendees of AdvaMed 2016. In a change from previous years, the highlight of the China Partnering Forum will be a series of exclusive educational panels themed “China Capital Meets US Innovation.” The educational panels aim to assist foreign medtech companies to better understand the Chinese market and avoid potential pitfalls from both business and legal perspectives. Tony Chu, TPP Founding Partner, and JC Sun, TPP Managing Director, will be hosting the panels and sharing their latest observations on medtech cross-border activities, and providing an insiders’ look at the Chinese MedTech market, its customers, and key success factors in licensing and product sales. As part of the TPP program, AdvaMed and the Chinese Association for Medical Devices Industry (CAMDI) will also participate in a panel discussion on “Opportunities and Obstacles for Medical Technology Innovative Solutions: China and the United States.” To learn how to participate in the China Partnering Forum, please contact Derrick Li at Derrick@ThePharmaPartners.com.
