About Hainan

Hainan, a large island off China’s south coast and the most southern province in China, is becoming the frontline of China’s integration into the global economic system, focusing on trade and investment liberalization. Hainan is the right place to go for Nordic Life Science ventures because: Hainan Free Trade Island implements open market policies in 360 degrees to benchmark Singapore, Dubai and Hong Kong.

Hainan BoAo Lecheng Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (‘Pilot Zone’) has been gaining publicity recently as part of the Chinese government-approved push to keep medical tourism within China. The Pilot Zone consists of a number of Chinese and foreign cooperative medical institutions in Hainan, where the implementation of free trade port preferential policies (such as zero tariff, low tax rate and simplified tax system) is already attracting big pharma to create their own infrastructure for innovation and growth.
