Sign up for the 2026 SAPA Investment Forum @ JPM Week: Creating Global Value Through: Strategic Partnerships & Smart Capital

Amidst the profound reshaping of the global economic landscape, how can biotech and pharmaceutical companies break through geographical boundaries, integrate global resources, and achieve sustainable leapfrog growth? The key lies in two core drivers: strategic partnerships and the precise deployment of smart capital.

On January 11, 2026, just before the 44th J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference officially commences, we cordially invite you to attend the 2026 SAPA Investment Forum @JPM Week. Centered on the theme "Creating Global Value Through Strategic Partnerships and Smart Capital," we will gather to discuss the future and strategize for new chapters together.

This forum will provide a high-level platform for in-depth interaction with industry leaders, top investors, and pioneering innovators, aiming to collectively decode the success paradigms of the global biotech and pharmaceutical industries. You will engage with industry leaders to explore how to build robust strategic alliances to accelerate innovation and analyze how to leverage "intelligent capital" to systematically build and empower globally competitive cross-border enterprises. Whether you are an entrepreneur seeking breakthroughs or an investor looking for the next growth curve, this will be an intellectual feast not to be missed—a vital stage to help you connect with potential opportunities and expand the boundaries of collaboration.
