2025 CBIIC

Introduction to CBIIC

The China BioMed Innovation and Investment Conference (CBIIC), as a premier platform fostering high-level dialogue between the pharmaceutical and investment industries, was established and initiated by China Pharmaceutical Innovation and Research Development Association (PhIRDA) in 2016. To promote the linkage between social capital and pharmaceutical innovation and improve the innovation capability of the pharmaceutical industry, the CBIIC focuses on China’s latest policies in the pharmaceutical industry, explores the new trends of global pharmaceutical R&D, and trends in the investment and financing circle. The CBIIC is built as an authoritative, comprehensive, professional, and international high-level platform for industry leaders, experts, scholars, domestic and foreign pharmaceutical innovation enterprises, and investors to discuss current trends of innovation and new strategies for investment and cooperation. Themed“A Decade of Innovation, Invest in the Future,” the 2025 CBIIC delves into emerging trends in innovative development and fosters joint discussions on strategic investment cooperation.

Established by PhIRDA, the CBIIC was successively co-hosted by Securities Association of China (SAC), China Association for Medical Devices Industry (CAMDI), Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), Chinese Hospital Association (CHA), and Research and Development International (RDI), from 2016 to 2023. Up to now, the CBIIC has attracted over 35,000 participants, 9,500 domestic and foreign pharmaceutical enterprises, and financial and investment institutions. About 1000 innovative projects at home and abroad have made roadshows. The One-on-One Partnering System received over 36,000 meeting requests and completed over 3,600 business meetings. The CBIIC has promoted effective communication and precise cooperation between domestic and international pharmaceutical innovation and investment communities, receiving extensive attention at home and abroad, and was praised as the “most popular cooperation platform for pharmaceutical innovation and investment in the Asia-Pacific region”.

I. A New Approach to Project Roadshows: More Focused, Broader in Scope, Technologically Advanced

The CBIIC remains committed to fostering the integration of capital and pharmaceutical innovation, invigorating early-stage technological innovation among domestic pharmaceutical innovators, and shaping an ecosystem conducive to high-quality development. Over the years, it has collaborated with stock exchanges, industry associations, international media, and think tanks to bring together the most promising and forward-looking innovation projects. By organizing a wide range of roadshows and forums, the CBIIC delves into critical topics including pharmaceutical policies, R&D, clinical development and investment, meeting the diverse needs of participants.

2025 CBIIC highlights key areas including AI-driven drug R&D, CGT, antibody drugs and XDCs, nucleic acid therapeutics and delivery technologies. The event balances cutting-edge technologies with subfields, and covers the entire innovation spectrum—from radiopharmaceuticals, PROTACs, and peptide-based drugs to natural products, and include rare diseases, pediatric medicines, and international innovation projects as well.

With sustained attention to clinical value and translational potential, the CBIIC systematically refines and categorizes roadshow topics to meet the practical needs of emerging biotech firms. It promotes precise matchmaking between enterprises and investors, facilitating a full-cycle innovation network that spans target identification, technology validation, clinical translation, and commercialization. CBIIC continues to serve as a high-efficiency dialogue platform that propels China’s biomedical innovation ecosystem toward greater internationalization.
