Medical experts and representatives from famous investment and financing organisations attended the activity, and seven experts in the area of investment and financing for medical care and comprehensive health were invited to make on-site reviews and offer professional advice on project development.

Thanks to the explanations of the projects provided by the representatives and the reviews made by the guests, after several rounds of exchanges on the projects between investment and financing organisations, the project holders and the capital holders have come to a deeper mutual understanding, which laid a solid foundation for capital connection with the projects. Meanwhile, the precious advice offered by the reviewers on the strengths and shortcomings of the projects were found useful by participating businesses and guests. The on-site deliveries were performed in an active and professional atmosphere.

The Investment and Financing Forum provided companies with a platform for project demonstration, resource connection and capital cooperation. By bringing together advantageous resources, it played an active role in promoting the development of the TCM industry and the growth of companies engaged in the field of comprehensive health in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
