CHI’s SCOPE Summit in Orlando

The new China Clinical Development Partnering Forum at SCOPE provides a focused forum to connect Chinese clinical development leaders and experts with their counterparts from the US as well as rest of world. The forum will provide a great opportunity for Global and Chinese-based pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, academic research centers, CROs, consultancies and other service providers involved in the conduct of drug development and clinical trials to share best practices for developing and bringing new therapies to market here in the West and in China.

The forum will provide an environment that allows public and/or private dialogue among clinical development counterparts around world.  It will help US or European sponsors and CROs who are interested in conducting clinical development programs in China to partner with up-and-coming Chinese biotech companies and CROs. Vice versa, it will help Chinese innovators and CROs who are looking for US-based CROs or licensing partners to expand their market and reach to collaborate.

The forum is not only about “outsourcing,” but focuses more on research-based innovators on both sides trying to figure out a win-win and trying to help one another navigate a two-way partnership. The forum will feature case studies, round table discussions, “how to” panel discussions, and networking. The atmosphere will be casual and interactive, though the topic is very important and somewhat complicated at this moment in time. Speaking proposals and panel proposals are being accepted, but they must include actual best practices and leaders who can offer accurate advice on how best to find partners on both sides.
