What people are saying
We established the conference because we saw that going global has become a major trend for domestic innovative drug and medical device companies, but there are still many pain points.
We hope to build a genuine trading platform, bring together resources from all parts of the industry chain, help companies find the buyers and investment and financing parties they want, and promote deals.
The core value lies in making full use of the complementary and combined advantages of Macao and Hengqin.
