Taking the China Challenge Thursday, 7 July 2016
09:30 – 15:30
China-Britain Business Council, 3/F Portland House, Bressenden Place, London, SW1E 5BH
The scale of the opportunities in China’s life science sector is well documented with the pharmaceutical and medical technologies sectors expected to grow significantly faster in China compared to other major international markets Boston Consulting Group forecasts a compound annual growth rate for both the pharma & medtech markets of 14% to 2020. Ongoing reforms by the Chinese Government include:
An increase of public insurance coverage to 98% for both the urban and rural population Expansion of the list of essential drugs. Strengthening information management services and increasing the use of electronic health records Investment of billions of RMB in the construction of hospitals, clinics and other healthcare infrastructure at county and municipal level The reform of public hospitals
In addition, higher disposable income for a rapidly growing urban population is driving a new awareness and demand for better healthcare services – and an increasing demand for western medicine and treatments. But China is seen by many organisations as a challenging market, with high entry costs; a complicated regulatory environment and concerns over the protection of intellectual property. This event will not only provide up to date information on the potential opportunities for UK organisations in China’s life sciences sector, but will also address the challenges and present solutions to overcome these. Registration To register for this event please click here, or for further information please contact our Events Team. Please note, places are limited initially to one representative per organisation. Fees: Members - £30; Non-Members - £40

Making the most of your Intellectual Property in China Tim Smith, Partner, Rouse & Co International LLP For most UK businesses entering China, their competitive advantage and their value derive from their intellectual assets. Protecting those assets is important, but often there is too much concern about risk, and not enough energy and thought applied to the opportunities that well managed intellectual assets bring. Tim Smith will look at the positive approaches to IP management when entering China.
