Webinar Explores How US Biotechs Can Compete and Collaborate with China’s Growing Industry

BioSpace is hosting a webinar titled "The China question: Can US biotechs lead as investment heads east?" on October 15, 2026. The event will feature a panel of experts who will discuss how China is shaping the future of biotech and what that means for companies on both sides of the Pacific.

The conversation will address contrasting perspectives that view China as a well of innovation or as a competitive challenge to U.S. dominance. It will explore why large pharmaceutical firms are eager to access Chinese therapies while U.S. biotech firms are searching for a clear role in the evolving landscape.

Among the speakers is Lila Hope, a partner at Sidley, who advises biotech, pharmaceutical and related companies on licensing, collaboration and other commercial agreements. Participants can register to watch the session online.
