info@pharmachinaseminar.com China's enormous size, its ageing population, consistent double-digit pharmaceutical industry growth in the past two decades and ongoing healthcare reform have convinced even the most conservative industry analysts to offer optimistic views about its future.
For many pharmaceutical MNCs, China is now a leading overseas market and it is likely to become their largest foreign market within a decade. Moreover, China has recently become a favorite destination for innovative drug R&D and many big pharma MNCs are increasingly relocating and outsourcing their R&D to the country. Finally, MNCs are also expanding their Chinese production operations and outsourcing more manufacturing projects to China.
Nevertheless, the pharmaceutical industry in China continues to face mounting challenges and the ever-changing legal, regulatory and market environments of China's healthcare sector pose the single biggest challenge to foreign companies.
There are success stories from all categories of players, whether they are foreign or local, large or small, newcomer or established, private or state-owned. However, to be one of the success stories requires a thorough understanding of the sector, ability to face and tackle challenges, flexibility to deal with changes, and skills to maneuver through complex situations.
To cater for the growing needs of headquarter pharmaceutical executives for better understanding of the Chinese market, the Seminar was jointly launched in 2009 by AmIntell, the organizer of Pharma CI Conference and Pharma Market Research Conference, and Pharma China, the most influential English media and source of business intelligence covering the Chinese pharmaceutical / biopharmaceutical industry and market.
"Pharma China Seminar - Building Success in China's Pharma Sector" is a one-day seminar providing insights into contemporary trends/issues and the most important aspects of the Chinese pharmaceutical industry and marketplace today.
On the basis of our successful experience with the event in 2009, Pharma China Seminar 2010 will refocus its agenda to provide more in-depth coverage of and strategic insights into four key aspects of Chinese pharma business including 1) latest trends and issues in drug regulation and healthcare policies, 2) pharma marketing & distribution channels, 3) the regulatory process for new drug development and 4) IP/legal issues.
