Keynote: The State of China's Biotech Industry
China's healthcare industry is the world’s fastest growing at over 20%/year, but the drug, device, diagnostics and services sectors each have their own opportunities and challenges. Hear the latest data from ChinaBio's research team. |

Industry Sector Panels
Each sector of China's life science industry has its own characteristics: market size and growth, investor interest, government support, parterning opportunities, IP issues, etc. The four Industry Sector Panels - drugs, devices, diagnostics and services - will examine the state of each sector, how it is evolving, and the where the opportunities lie for entrepreneurs and investors alike. The panels will be made up of experts in that sector including VCs, entrepreneurs, executives from multinational companies, and industry consultants. |
| 10:00 - 11:00 |
Panel 1: Drugs - Novel vs Generics
Is China's drug development industry moving away from generics toward novel molecules, or are biosimilars becoming the "new" generics? What is the state of novel drug development in China, and what types of projects are attracting investment capital? Is the government stepping in to help fund pre-clinical compounds? |

Panel 2: Device and Nano Technology - China's Next Frontier?
Medical devices and equipment are always attractive areas for investors, given the shorter development time, quicker exit and lower risk. But China has to-date been focused on lower-tech devices. Is this changing? And how will an increased focus on nanotechnology help propel technology development and investment in this area? Is IP protection a major concern for devices? |

Panel 3: Diagnostics - What's the Prognosis?
When China announced its $124B funding for healthcare reforum, many thought this would stimulate technology development, especially in POC diagnostics. While this hasn't happened, many companies in the sector are still growing at 50% to 100% or more per year. Where are the opporutnities, and how could "theranostics" or "personalized medicine" impact this sector in China? |

Panel 4: Services - Played Out or New Opportunities?
The world may not need another Wuxi Pharmatech or Chempartner, but are there still opportunities for speciliasts in this game? Could biologics CMOs be the next winning play in China? Do biology-based CROs offer enough scale to attract investment? Could China be facing over-capacity issues that are slowing investment? |
