Shanghai, October 15, 2025 – J.P. Morgan will host its fifth Global Healthcare Shanghai Conference on October 16 and October 17.

As part of the International Biopharma Industry Week Shanghai 2025, the conference will bring together leading experts from the healthcare sector and capital markets from across the world to discuss topics including key trends in healthcare investment, innovation, capital raising and China’s own healthcare industry. Over 170 one-on-one or small group meetings will also be held in parallel to the plenary session.

Rita Chan, Co-SCO for J.P. Morgan China, said: “China’s healthcare sector has seen a remarkable surge in 2025, fueled by strong momentum in out-licensing deals of innovative drugs, solid fundamentals of Chinese biotech and pharmaceutical companies, and a favorable domestic policy environment. We are confident that this year’s conference will continue to provide a unique platform for business leaders and investors to better understand the evolving landscape, share ideas, and find new opportunities in healthcare industry in China and globally.”

Alan Ho, Co-SCO for J.P. Morgan China, said: “We are upbeat about the healthcare market in China, the second largest one in the world. Drawing on our deep insights and expertise within this critical sector, J.P. Morgan is pleased to host the Global Healthcare Shanghai Conference for the fifth consecutive year, continuously connecting China with the global healthcare sectors, which we hope will help deliver benefits to more patients across the world.”

Shanghai is an important hub for the healthcare sector in China, with strong research and innovation capabilities. In recent years, Shanghai-based innovative pharmaceutical companies have ranked top in China in terms of both the number of financing transactions and the total amount of financing received.

David PW Lau, head of APAC Healthcare Investment Banking and co-head of China Investment Banking at J.P. Morgan, said: “Investor interest in Chinese healthcare companies has been growing as result of China’s vast population and rapidly expanding healthcare market, as well as Chinese companies’ enhanced innovation capabilities and globally recognized clinical data. As one of the leading investment banks in the global and China’s healthcare industry, we will continue to invest in our healthcare investment banking services to better support our clients both onshore and offshore.”
