The 4th edition of the Sino-French GBA Forum was successfully held on January 29 in Guangzhou, confirming the Greater Bay Area as a major hub for innovation and international cooperation. Organized by the French Chamber of Commerce in China, together with GBA institutions and the French Embassy, the Forum benefited from the active contribution of the French Healthcare Alliance China.
Several key highlights are worth noting:
- High-level exchanges addressing the transformations underway in the GBA, a unique ecosystem driven by rapid innovation across healthcare, industry, and technology.
- A presentation on healthcare markets and innovation in the GBA delivered by our Co-Chairman, Olivier Dessajan, highlighting the region’s dynamics, opportunities, and challenges.
- A healthcare roundtable moderated by Frédéric Barbier, CEO of SGD Pharma, with contribution from Raphaël de Garnier of Sanofi, offering valuable industry perspectives.
- The presentation of the “Sino-French Innovation and Excellence Award” to Colisée China and its joint venture, recognizing their commitment to quality, innovation, and international standards in senior care.
This forum once again demonstrated the strength of Sino-French collaboration in healthcare and the Silver Economy, and the growing role of the GBA as a innovation hub. The French Healthcare Alliance China looks forward to continuing these exchanges and supporting high-impact cooperation initiatives across the region.
