At today's press conference, Johnny Wan, Director, Exhibitions Market Development, HKTDC, said: "The large number and wide variety of exhibitors at the ICMCM this year highlights the growth and diversification of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) industry. Hong Kong, with its East-meets-West culture and transparent regulatory environment, is the ideal place to showcase the attributes of TCM and introduce related brands, products and services to a global audience."

Chinese Medicine: Tradition + Modernity

This year's ICMCM provides a diverse showcase of the latest technologies and brands related to TCM, including health foods, health care monitoring devices and anti-ageing products.

High-Level Conference

A premier international event for the Chinese medicine community, the ICMCM Conference (13-14 August) keeps practitioners abreast of the latest trends and developments. This year's 12th edition of the ICMCM Conference adopts the theme of "CM Research & Commercialization on Cardiovascular Diseases". It will feature high-profile speakers from Germany, the United States, the Chinese mainland, and Hong Kong. Conference sessions will focus on such topics as cardiovascular tonic herbs, data-mining for coronary heart disease and markets and drug quality.

Other knowledge-sharing events include a Seminar on Testing and Certification of Chinese Medicines on 14 August. Meanwhile the 11th International Postgraduate Symposium on Chinese Medicine, which will also be held on 14 August, is co-organised by the University of Hong Kong.

Public Day

On the last day of the ICMCM (15 August), the fair will be open to public ticket-holders, providing visitors with updated information on TCM and giving them a chance to learn more about products on the market. Events organised for the public include a Chinese Medicine Health Public Forum. Practitioners will also be on hand to discuss ways to apply Chinese medicine in everyday life.

Healthy TCM Business

Hong Kong is a leading international hub for TCM. In 2014, Hong Kong's total exports of Chinese medicines amounted to US$452 million, a 9.3 per cent increase year-on-year. Hong Kong's top export markets are the Chinese mainland, Macau, Taiwan, Indonesia and the US.
