It is the first official summit forum held by Valurise Health Solutions International in China. This is a cross-cutting, multi-industry and cross-border high-level summit.

Secondly, cross-industry elites have been invited, including those from the health risks management industry, successful employers, and the insurance and health services industries. Through this forum, insurance representatives will learn from the leading experience of "Health Risk Management + Health Insurance" in order to enhance the core competitiveness of health insurance business, and help companies to control medical costs. Employer representatives will learn the best practices of new talent management, in order to improve the physical and mental health as a business soft power. Health risk management representatives, as a core bond industry representative, will work with all parties to have in-depth exchanges and sharing the effective solutions, work with the employers to have the comprehensive and timely management of staff physical and mental health to improve the quality of human capital. Health services representatives will effectively improve service quality and customer relationship maintenance capacities through sharing and exchanging experiences, to promote a healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

Thirdly, as a cross-border event, the summit provides a learning and sharing platform for international exchange, distinctive points-of-view, feverish minds and broader visions. The health risk management experts from the U.S., U.K and South Africa will gather in China for the first time, sharing core concepts, the latest trends of national health risk management and the effective measures to achieve the best health risk management models. The forum will help advanced employers and health insurers precisely position their Health Risk Management strategy to face the future.

Another profound feature of the forum is that the forum reveals the current status of Chinese enterprises and signs the hot topics, which is industry-wide concerned. China's industrialization, urbanization and aging are in a key period of rapid development on an unprecedented scale. The grim reality is that Chinese enterprises and their employees are generally not good at managing their own physical and mental health issues, which creates more risk for the enterprises while they are working to survive and prosper in an increasingly competitive market. Facing this endless crisis and overwhelming risks, it is high time to develop and implement stronger Integrated health risk management programs, both physical and mental.

On one hand, the representatives will share the topics of facing fierce competition and rapidly changing markets, what enterprises can do to deal with the high pressure conditions; how to establish an effective health risk management program in order to improve both HR and the employees' satisfaction. And on the other hand, it will discuss how to implement the innovative practice model, 'Health Risk Management + Health Insurance', to maximize the synergies between health risk management and health insurance, and also will help employees understanding, and then better manage, their health condition and the potential health risks. By helping to prevent and transfer the financial risk of the staff physical health, we will reap the benefits of also greatly reducing the claim risk of the insurance companies. Integrated health risk management on the workforce will not only increase productivity but also resolve a fundamental contradiction between supply and demand on the medical market as well. And ultimately enable the health insurance industry to flourish and to actively promote the development of health insurance in the multi-level medical security system in China.
