2019 SAPA Healthcare Investment Forum & Roadshow

SAPA in collaboration with Tongxieyi will hold a Sino-US Healthcare Investment Forum and Road Show  on June 14-15, 2019 in New Jersey and New York, USA.

SAPA was founded in 1993 in the US as a non-profit organization and since then has grown rapidly and become one of the most active and well-recognized professional organizations in the US with a membership base of over 6,000. SAPA is headquartered in the Greater New York area (NJ/NY/CT) with six US regional chapters (SAPA-NE in New England, SAPA-GP in Greater Philadelphia, SAPA-CT in Connecticut, SAPA-DC in Greater Washington DC area, SAPA-MW in Midwest area, and SAPA-West in West Coast), and one chapter in China. SAPA members are engaged in drug discovery, pre-clinical & clinical development, manufacturing, regulation, marketing, and distribution of pharmaceuticals and biotech therapeutic products. To fulfill its missions, each year SAPA and its regional chapters organize and sponsor many events including annual conference, scientific symposia, seminars, workshops, and social activities both in the US and China. These events have been supported and sponsored by many organizations, including major pharmaceutical, biotech and CRO companies as well as many Bio-Parks and Development Zones in China.

With 15 years history of devotion and hard-working in the field of biomedical R&D and innovation in China, Tongxieyi has held more than 90 sessions of forums. "Tongxieyi" is an important value sharing platform of pharmaceutical elites both in academic and industrial, and an important source of the new ideas of Chinese new drug R&D.

SAPA Investment Forum is an important event. This year’s event will feature investment hot topics in both the US and China. Tongxieyi will organize the sessions  on Day 1, and will actively participate in the sessions on Day 2. Investors and invited speakers will introduce the new trends and future of pharmaceutical industry, and share their experiences in entrepreneurship, financing and development. The event further promotes business cooperation between US and China.

Share Capital, a prestigious boutique venture capital founded in 2007 in Shenzhen, is co-sponsoring the event. As of today, Share Capital engages more than 50 investment professionals, oversees 11 funds and manages over 200 portfolio companies with CNY 9 billion (equivalent to $1.35 billion) assets. Over the past years, Share Capital has already formed a prominent investment portfolio composition of Breakthrough Drug Research, Biotechnology, Innovative Medical Devices, Health Services, and it is always Share Capital’s priority in building an effective interlink between academia, industry and entrepreneurs.

We will also collaborate with the SAPA-DC Chapter to plan events in DC areas, to learn more about policy and regulation from the experts of the US FDA. Working together with SAPA, Tongxieyi will create a great opportunity of learning and collaboration in healthcare advancement and development.
