ChinaBio® Investor Forum

December 11-12, 2008 | Beijing

Connecting entrepreneurs and investors in China biotech™

China is the fastest growing market for pharmaceuticals in the world. Now, after billions of dollars of investment, China is transforming itself into a world leader in biotech innovation, and will soon be the 2nd largest market after the U.S. And the financial turmoil in the rest of the world is driving the move to leverage China's low cost development structure even faster.

The ChinaBio® Investor Forum brings entrepreneurs and investors together in a unique platform that has enabled early and mid-stage life science companies in China to raise over $60M US as a result of our forums.  The ChinaBio® Investor Forum in Shanghai attracted over 270 attendees and 80 VCs from the life science industry.  Twenty-one companies presented their business plans and most received VC investments as a result.  VCs in attendance included Sofinnova, Mingly China Growth Fund, Bay City Capital, Lilly Asia Ventures, Fidelity Asia Ventures, BioVeda China, HBM BioMed, Morningside, and any more.  Plus many of the big pharma attended looking for new technologies, including Merck, Pfizer, Roche, Lilly, and others 

Now, the ChinaBio® Investor Forum will be hosted in Beijing for the first time.  Over 20 early stage biotechnology, diagnostics, medical device and services companies from throughout China will be presenting.  Attendees will have the opportunity to screen these companies in a rapid two-day forum that also offers educational sessions on the state of the biotechnology industry and VC investment in China from over 25 experts.
