As the world’s third-largest pharmaceutical market, Japan features a sophisticated regulatory framework, a premium reimbursement environment, and a strong openness to innovative drugs, making it a strategic hub for Chinese innovative drugs going global. How can companies leverage Japan as a pivot to expand their global footprint?

The full agenda for the China-Japan Cooperation Session: Leveraging Japan’s Market to Boost Overseas Expansion Strategies is officially released today.This session will gather policy experts, clinical researchers, corporate strategists, and investment institutions from both the Chinese and Japanese pharmaceutical industries. Participants will conduct in-depth discussions on new drug market trends in Japan, strategic pathways for Chinese innovative drugs entering the Japanese market, practical clinical R&D operations, and actionable implementation models for Sino-Japanese industrial collaboration. It aims to systematically analyze the new global expansion paradigm of "driving global development via Japan."
