Beijing's Changping to launch advanced medical equipment hub

A major new center for medical equipment showcases and collaboration is set to open later this year in Beijing's Changping district.

Designed to offer five core functions: product demonstrations, training, regulatory support, global partnership facilitation, and digital services, the center will be unveiled in the fourth quarter this year. 

The center's exhibition space will combine real-world clinical scenarios with physical product displays. Visitors will be able to experience replicas of hospital environments — such as ICUs and operating rooms — equipped with advanced technologies like AI-guided tours and remote medical systems. These spaces will showcase cutting-edge products across key fields including cardiology, oncology, neurology, diagnostics, surgery, and rehabilitation.

The facility will also feature a training and demonstration base for promoting high-end medical equipment. A dedicated education center will include simulation labs, classrooms, and surgical training areas, providing hands-on instruction for clinical professionals and medical device regulators. This aims to strengthen both product usage and oversight capabilities.

In partnership with the National Medical Products Administration's Center for Medical Device Evaluation and other local innovation service stations, the center will offer services such as staff training and pre-market guidance.

To support international collaboration, the center will also establish a global cooperation platform for medical devices. Through partnerships with Belt and Road countries, it plans to promote mutual recognition of standards, facilitate joint testing, and improve market access. 

The center sits within the rapidly growing Changping International Medical Equipment City, which already hosts dozens of high-tech firms. The park focuses on strategic areas such as high-value consumables, in-vitro diagnostics, and biomaterials, and has built a complete innovation chain from R&D to commercialization.
