CEIBS event brings Chinese healthcare trends to Paris

June 1, 2023. Paris, France – CEIBS hosted a healthcare seminar with Professor of Management Eric Bouteiller in central Paris this evening.

Joined by CEIBS alumni and their guests, a group of 18 people came together to discuss the latest trends in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries in China, led by Prof. Bouteiller, who was visiting France from China.

Prof. Bouteiller shared insights and observations on the trends in the life sciences and healthcare industries in China, before opening the discussion to the room so that others from the industry could pose questions and share their own observations.

With CEIBS alumni as well as industry professionals and doctoral students in attendance, the discussions were animated and thought-provoking, deliberating on topics such as the ageing population in China, drug policies, and patent laws and their impact on healthcare services and providers. Many people in the room had experience in China and Europe and talked about what we could learn from the tendencies that were highlighted by Prof. Bouteiller.

After the talk, the group enjoyed an apéro-style dinner at the M Social Hotel, where discussions continued and people exchanged contact details, promising to keep in touch and connect at further events in Paris and beyond.

Many CEIBS students and alumni have a background in the life sciences and the seminar was the first offline event in Europe to unite those in the field and assist them in growing their professional networks.

CEIBS Alumni Manager for Europe Georgina Unanué said, “Hosting bespoke events for our alumni according to their industry gives them the chance to connect with relevant people which is so valuable when building a professional network. Having a professor such as Eric to share his learnings and insights also gives our alumni the chance to continue learning long after graduation.”
