Executive Summary:
China is the second largest economy after the USA. Number 1
in cell phone market, cement and many other segments. Similar to many western
countries, China is facing strong demand in healthcare and home care. In 2014,
Beijing hospitals have over one million visitor from other regions. This trend
cannot continue as it will put the burden on major hospitals of Beijing.
As a result, the regional government and local businesses
such as real estate developers have started the Medical Zone Development
Initiative to help levitate the situation. The project will include designate a
large piece of land in selected cities to build hospitals, health care and home
care facilities. Additionally, there will be research funding for both industry
and academia to help fight diseases and develop new medical technology and
equipments. In 2015, it will start off with Chongqing and followed by Beijing
(multiple regions), Ningxia, Qingdao (multiple regions)/also know as Tsingtao
where the famous beer brewery is based, Nanjing, Changzhou, Wuxi, Sichuan
(known for its spicy food), Chengdu, Shanghai (multiple regions), Fujian,
Guangzhou (also known as Canton), Hainan (known as the Chinese Hawaii) and
more. These are the known cities at time of writing.
What does this mean?
These regions are looking to collaborate with leading
medical technology companies and research facilities to develop a process for standard,
cooperation and procurement. It is very likely once a process is set up the
other cities will follow. So this provides the golden opportunities to
participate at the ground level. At the end of January, the project will host a
round table discussions/conference in Chongqing. You are invited to
participate.
Act now!
Seating is limited to the qualified companies and is by
invitation only. If you are interested in doing business in China and/or have
representative in China, please contact me at your earliest convenience. (At
this time, Philips has confirmed to attend among some Chinese companies).
