HAIKOU, China, July 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from Hainan
International Media Center (HIMC):
From July 4-6, a delegation from
China's southern Hainan Province held Hainan Free Trade Port
(FTP) related promotion and exchange activities in Switzerland, cementing cooperation in the
fields of medical health, education, and high-end shopping &
consumption.
During their time in Switzerland, the Hainan delegation held discussions and
research meetings with numerous important companies and
institutions, including Merck, Richemont, Roche Diagnostics,
EHL Hospitality Business School, Switzerland Global Enterprise, the
World Trade Organization, and the World Intellectual Property
Organization.
Inviting Swiss counterparts to leverage the FTP's preferential
policies, Hainan is specifically
promoting cooperation in the fields of medical health, independent
school running, and intellectual property protection. Hainan also made a point of expressing their
warm welcome to Swiss enterprises to take part in the 5th China
International Consumer Products Expo in April, 2025.
Co-organized by Hainan's
provincial government and the Switzerland Global Enterprise, the
Hainan Free Trade Port Medical & Health Industry Exchange
Meeting was held in Zurich on
July 4. The event was well-received,
with nearly 50 representatives from well-known Swiss companies and
industry associations (including the Swiss Medical Technology
Association, the the Swiss Scientific and Industrial Pharmaceutical
Association, Novartis, Nestlé Health Science, Sonova, Similasan,
Alcon, and IBSA) in attendance.
At the meeting, the Swiss side affirmed that the Hainan FTP's
conducive business environment and preferential policies
(especially the innovative measures in the Boao Lecheng
International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone) mean that the island has
broad development prospects in the medical and health industry.
Lecheng has become the primary rapid access channel for global
innovative medical products entering China, and many Swiss medical companies—in
learning about how the FTP's preferential policies support
Lecheng—are now planning to deepen cooperation with Hainan.
The conference saw contract signings take place between Sonova
& the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone,
Industrie Biomediche Insubri SA & Susheng Biotech, and Dr.
Dünner AG & Winhealth Pharma. Also, to promote innovative
development in life sciences and the medical health industries,
Switzerland Global Enterprise signed a memorandum of understanding
with the Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic
Development.
