On November 4, 2009, Morrison & Foerster, ChinaBio® Accelerator, and ChinaBio® Today are honored to host an executive workshop on “Building a Global Biotech Business in China.” To register online for this workshop, please visit www.CBEW2009.com

This workshop addresses three critical topics for executives and investors building global biotech and life science companies in the current challenging financial climate:

• Structuring a Global Life Science Company
  How to structure your company to make it attractive to U.S. and China investors, and provide rule-of-law and shareholder rights
• Building a Global Patent Portfolio
  How to secure China, U.S., and international patents that provide freedom to operate while blocking your competition
• Attracting Investment Capital
  How to position your company to attract investment from many of the private and government funding sources available in China as well as the U.S.

Join other key executives and managers of biotechnology and life science companies interested in learning how to leverage China to raise investment funds, develop new drugs or medical devices, and generate global intellectual property rights. Learn how to structure a global life science company, build a global patent portfolio, and attract investment capital from our speakers, who are all senior executives who have successfully put their principles into practice in the real world. Also, meet other executives and managers facing similar issues.
