The success of the six-time Listed Company Roadshows has witnessed the rapid growth of China’s innovative pharmaceutical industry in recent years, and the relevant policies continuously issued by the state and the booming of investment in the capital market have further promoted China's innovative pharmaceutical industry. Since Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) approved the listing application of pre-profit/pre-revenue companies listing under the new Biotech chapter as well as STAR Market was launched from Shanghai Stock Exchange, it has not only made innovative drug firms have wider financing platform, but also provided a faster capital exit channel, which has greatly driven the capital involved in innovation investment.
Through the roadshow, participants can have an in-depth understanding of the strategic layout, innovation fields and R&D pipelines of enterprises listed in different capital markets, investors will be more clear about the investment direction and fields, small and micro R&D innovative enterprises will also learn more listing layout and development experience, and find opportunities for cooperation.
