Description

On Wednesday, December 12th, 2018, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Boston Healthcare Drinks Group and GreenbergTraurig will co-organize an afternoon discussion with Helen Chen, Head of L.E.K. China, on "Biopharma Business Opportunities Arising From China"

China is the second largest healthcare and pharmaceutical market in the world. Driven by pro-innovation and pro-biotechnology policy trends, including drug regulatory reform and intellectual property rights protection, China is becoming a key destination for biopharmas globally. But China remains a complicated and unfamiliar market. How will biopharmas succeed in this market? What are the options in place.

We cordially invite you to join us in discussing the challenges and opportunities for biopharmas and life sciences investors aspiring to grow and expand in the China life sciences market.
