WORKSHOP on China's Healthcare Sector, 19 May, Shanghai

The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce, together with its Healthcare Working Group, the EU SME Centre and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, is pleased to invite you to the workshop "China's Healtcare Sector" which will take place on May 19th at 16:00 (China time)

The event will be held both online via Zoom and offline at the European Chamber Shanghai Office

China’s healthcare industry has emerged as one of the fastest growing sectors in the country. A key driver of this growth is China’s rapidly aging population, which is creating higher demand for healthcare services, pharmaceuticals, and medical innovations.

What role can European SMEs play in this industry? How are regulations, procurement conditions, state-led initiatives and other factors shaping market access in practice? These are just some of the key questions that this workshop seeks to address.
