The Sage Group Expands Team in China with a New Life Sciences Dealmaking Partnership with Cenponts

The Sage Group has announced a new commercial initiative to strengthen its global deal team in China through a new partnership with Shenzhen-based Cenponts.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, September 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Sage Group today announced that it has formed a strategic partnership with Cenponts, based in Shenzhen, China and Paris, France. The partnership will enable Chinese companies to commercialise their assets in the West, with a USA/EU focus, and Western companies to partner with Chinese companies either for the purpose of asset licensing or divestment.

China’s vigorous healthcare and life science markets are increasingly attractive as venues for R&D and clinical development activities. This has been radically transformed by harmonization of regulatory standards for the conduct and data sharing of clinical studies across China, Europe and USA.

China’s financial exchange in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng (HKEX), is also now attracting considerable interest globally as a venue for corporate finance and IPOs with diverse sources of finance, and leading the Asian market in this regard.

Established in 2015, Cenponts is a boutique investment bank based in China and Europe with a global perspective. It is dedicated to cross-border financing and strategic partnerships in the field of healthcare and well-being. The team members are located in major cities worldwide, including Paris, Berlin, Basel, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chengdu. Additionally, the company has established strategic partnerships in the United States to connect global resources. The core businesses of Cenponts include equity financing, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), license transactions, and business consulting, etc

The Sage Group was founded in 2004 and has offices in US, Europe, Japan, Israel, India and now China. Sage has worked with a number of Chinese companies in recent years, and in 2023 announced a large deal between their Chinese client working in infectious disease, Zhimeng Biopharma, and GSK, focused on a cure for Hepatitis B.

“We are delighted to work with the talented bioscience resource offered by Cenponts and this partnership will enable us to expand our service offering to this important economic region” said Dr. Bill Mason, Executive Director of The Sage Group. “Cenponts’ experienced team will work with Sage’s clients in North America and Europe to provide access to major corporate pharma and medtech entities in China.”

Jinlong Yue, Partner of Cenponts commented “I am pleased for Cenponts to form this relationship with The Sage Group and to assist them in providing to our Chinese clients unparalleled deal making access to global markets with a focus on US and Europe.”
