Event summary

Cooley is a proud sponsor of the 8th Annual BFC Global Healthcare BD & Investment Conference. In the past year, there has been a surge in out-licensing deals between Chinese biotech firms and global pharmaceutical companies, signaling the growing influence of China's innovation in the global life sciences market. These partnerships are fueled by groundbreaking scientific achievements from top Chinese biotech companies. However, despite these notable strides, significant challenges remain – such as reimbursement hurdles and commercialization pathways, as well as securing venture financing and navigating global market entry.

This one-day conference aims to further accelerate industry growth by fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among key stakeholders of healthcare companies around the globe.
