About GCFF Healthcare Investment Conference

The GCFF Healthcare investment conference (virtual) will be held on June 10, 2021. The aim for this event is to connect Chinese investors across the West and East coast (Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Calgary, Toronto, New York City) and introduce them to some exciting opportunities in the healthcare sector (biotech, medical device, medtech, etc.). The sponsor expects to have 400-500 Chinese investors and investment advisors to be online at any given time during the event. Investors like to learn about the latest market trends and new investment opportunities in the stock market. The Chinese investor community is quite underserved and one market segment that public companies in North America should not ignore.

The GCFF Conference has been established for over 20 years and is one of its kind in serving the high net-worth Chinese investor market. They are the leading market intelligence firm that introduces investment opportunities in life science, resource and technology sectors to the Chinese investors in North America and Asia. They also run a high-traffic investment portal NAI500 and newsletter (over 72,000 opt-in subscribers) to serve the growing Chinese investor population.
