The 1st China Pharmaceutical Innovation Conference (CPIC), organized by TONACEA, will be grandly held from July 22 to 24, 2026, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).
Benchmarking the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, CPIC aims to establish a new paradigm of “China Innovation – Global Translation – Shanghai as a Global Deal-Making Hub.”
This conference is not only a showcase of cutting-edge technologies, but also a strategic platform dedicated to reinforcing the biopharmaceutical sector as a national pillar industry and accelerating the global expansion of China’s innovative drugs.
The event will drive the deep integration of innovation and capital markets, highlight China’s R&D advantage and execution speed, expand global collaboration networks, and significantly enhance the international influence of Chinese innovative therapeutics.
Thousands of global industry leaders will gather in Hongqiao, Shanghai, including representatives from regulatory authorities, multinational pharmaceutical companies, leading research institutions, top biotech firms, international investment banks, professional investors, commercial banks, stock exchanges, and leading law and accounting firms.
Participants will engage in 300+ high-impact sessions and high-frequency 1-on-1 partnering meetings, jointly shaping the future landscape of China’s innovative drugs and medical devices.
As the premier gateway for global capital and enterprises to understand China’s innovation ecosystem, and a core hub for Chinese pharmaceutical companies going global, CPIC is set to become a key barometer for annual investment and collaboration in the global healthcare industry.
The official conference website, registration system, and 1-on-1 partnering platform will be launched soon. Stay tuned.
