With a focus on Sino-French industrial cooperation, this forum discussed how to promote the experience, knowledge, technologies and products of elderly care through localization, to better meet market demand in the context of population aging in China. Under a theme centered on the new trend of digital and intelligent development, with the aim of boosting China's elderly care undertakings, this forum brought together Chinese and French government officials, entrepreneurs, scholars and researchers in the health field, pooling their efforts and wisdom to promote the innovative development of the Chinese and French health industries, as well as the win-win cooperation between them.

France has been a leader in healthcare services and products in Europe, with its market share and technology both on top. These French-funded projects will bring new experience to Hubei.
