San Francisco, January 10, 2027 – As the global biopharmaceutical industry gathers in San Francisco for JPM Week, The 8th ACCESS ASIA BD Forum @ JPM 2027 will bring together Asian biotech innovators, global pharmaceutical companies, investors, and business development leaders to explore cross-border partnering opportunities.
Organized by YAFO Capital and ACCESS ASIA, the Forum connects innovative assets from China, South Korea, Japan, and across Asia with international partners, facilitating access for Asian innovation to global markets through licensing, investment, and strategic collaboration. The Forum also provides a gateway for global companies to showcase their assets and access Asian markets, creating opportunities for cross-border business development and strategic partnerships.
Building on Results. Creating New Opportunities.
At the 2026 Forum, ACCESS ASIA welcomed more than 300 attendees and featured 29 company presentations, 9 keynote speakers, and 3 panel discussions. In 2027, the Forum will build on this foundation with company showcases, the Asia Innovation 100 Roadshow, industry discussions, and 1-to-1 partnering opportunities.
For pharma BD teams and investors, the Forum offers opportunities to discover emerging Asian biotech assets and potential partners. For biotech innovators, it provides a platform to showcase their pipelines and connect with international stakeholders.
The goal: turn connections into opportunities for cross-border business development.
One Forum, Multiple Ways to Connect
From Asian biotech innovation to global pharma partnering, the Forum brings together the people, assets, and opportunities shaping cross-border collaboration.
