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.   AGENDA 16:00–16:05 Opening remarks Liam Jia, Team Leader, EU SME Centre 16:05–16:25 Overview of China’s Healthcare Sector Jens Ewert, National Leader Life Science Healthcare Industry, Deloitte 16:25–16:45 Registration Procedures for Medical Devices Hamish King, CEO at Cisema 16:45–17:15 Panel Discussion: Market Access for European SMEs in the Healthcare Sector Moderator: Valtero Canepa, General Manager at Bracco Sine Pharmaceutical Shanghai 17:15–17:30 Q&A session   REGISTRATION To join the event please CLICK HERE This event is free of charge - registration is mandatory   SPEAKERS Jens Ewert, a Senior Partner with Deloitte China, has over 30 years of working experience in the professional services.
