The Australia China Business Council invites you to the Australia-China Health Summit 2024 kindly hosted by Gadens

Both Victoria and China are experiencing rapid advancements in the fields of biotechnology, medtech and health innovation, and we recognise the opportunities from China’s growing health care market.

Businesses can encounter challenges when exporting Australian medical goods and services to China. Likewise, Chinese companies wishing to expand into overseas markets should look to Australia’s therapeutic goods and medical registration policies and Victoria’s reputation as the health and research capital of our country to support their global expansion via our state. In addition, for Australian companies with an eye on the burgeoning Chinese market, Hong Kong can be an ideal gateway into China.

Our experienced speakers will focus on three key topics :

  • Why Victoria is the centre of Australia’s BioTech/Health Tech innovation
  • Inbound Chinese Health Innovation companies going global via Victoria
  • Hong Kong as the gateway to China’s Health Tech markets

A half-day forum and buffet lunch are included in the ticket price.
