SuzhouJune 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amid the fragrance of loquats, a gathering of distinguished experts in traditional Chinese medicine convened by the shores of the magnificent Taihu Lake. On May 27, the 11th Shennong Traditional Chinese Medicine Elite Exchange Conference opened at the Suzhou Taihu Lake Holiday Inn. In the presence of attending guests and industry representatives, Chen Haiping, initiator of the Guofutai•HEAL Health Ecosystem Alliance and Chairman of Guofutai Health and Wellness Group, signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Chen Guosheng, Editor-in-Chief of Safety Food News (http://www.foodsafety360.com) and Hangzhou Dingshi Technology Co., Ltd. This marks the official partnership between a professional media platform in the food sector and a value-growth empowerment platform for the health industry, jointly injecting new momentum into the health industry.
A Grand Gathering of Experts: A Decade of Dedication Ushers in a New Chapter
The 11th Shennong Traditional Chinese Medicine Elite Exchange Conference was guided by the International Exchange Branch of the China Research Association of Chinese Medicine Culture, hosted by Tianyang (Beijing) Health Management Co., Ltd., co-organized by the Health and Elderly Care Promotion Project Management Office and the Guofutai•HEAL Health Ecosystem Alliance, and supported by nine units including Suzhou Taohua Island Cultural Resort (Taihu Tuluo Island), Guizhou Renhuai Daoyi Chunshou Liquor Co., Ltd., and Suzhou Guanzi Moxibustion Service Center.
The conference coincides with a critical period for the deepening implementation of the national “15th Five-Year Plan” and the strategy to revitalize and develop traditional Chinese medicine, aligning closely with policies for a Healthy China and the internationalization of TCM. After a decade of accumulation, the Shennong TCM Elite Exchange Conference has consistently upheld its founding mission: “to inherit the essence of Chinese medicine, discover folk techniques, exchange clinical practices, gather industry elites, link industrial resources, empower health entrepreneurship, and promote international exchanges.” It has evolved into a national high-level annual TCM event integrating academic exchange, skill inheritance, industrial networking, media empowerment, and international reserves.
This year’s conference specially invited nationally renowned veteran TCM doctors, folk TCM masters, intangible cultural heritage inheritors, and experts in ethnic minority medicine to take the stage one after another. They shared unique therapies and clinical practical experiences without reservation, focusing on core topics such as TCM classics, intangible cultural heritage medical techniques, non-pharmaceutical therapies, medicinal and food homologous formulas, and natural healing and wellness.
Powerful Alliance: Food Safety Media Empowers the Health Industry
At the signing ceremony, Chen Haiping, initiator of the Guofutai•HEAL Health Ecosystem Alliance, and Chen Guosheng, Editor-in-Chief of Safety Food News, formally signed the strategic cooperation agreement.
The HEAL Alliance is a value-growth empowerment platform focused on the health industry, following a service path of “Diagnosis—Planning—Accompaniment” to help enterprises achieve resource integration and systematic development, empowering TCM enterprises to move from “single-point breakthroughs” to “systematic growth.”
Safety Food News, as a leading media platform in the food sector, relies on www.foodsafety360.com, covering the entire food and beverage industry chain. It boasts resources from over 100,000 food and beverage brands, channel resources, and resources from over a hundred industry exhibitions, possessing strong industrial resource integration capabilities and a professional media communication matrix.
Through this strategic cooperation, both parties will jointly build an integrated service system of “industrial empowerment + precision marketing + capital support.” The Guofutai•HEAL Health Ecosystem Alliance will leverage its industrial resources and platform influence, while Safety Food News will utilize its professional marketing capabilities and financing platform advantages. Together, they will provide high-value-added market promotion and financing solutions for health enterprises, enhancing their market competitiveness and brand value in their respective fields.
At the Signing Ceremony, Both Sides Discuss the Future of the Industry
At the signing ceremony, Chen Haiping stated: “The core logic of the HEAL Alliance is to help health enterprises move from ‘single-point breakthroughs’ to ‘systematic growth.’ Safety Food News’s deep accumulation in the food and beverage industry chain is precisely the industrial infrastructure we need most. This cooperation is not a simple media partnership but a full-chain empowerment from the supply chain to the brand end.”
Chen Guosheng, Editor-in-Chief of Safety Food News, said: “Safety Food News has been closely following the health and medicinal-food homologous tracks. From today’s Shennong Conference, the signal that ‘medicinal and food homology is moving from concept to product implementation’ shows that food safety and health are deeply integrating. We look forward to working with the HEAL Alliance to use the power of media to make good products visible and good industries connected.”
When “medicinal and food homology” evolves from packaging rhetoric to quantifiable ingredients on the label, and when the international expansion of health goes from cultural export to a systematic layout at the product development level, the industry needs not just a conference but an ecosystem that truly integrates academia, industry, media, channels, and capital.
This handshake between Safety Food News and the Guofutai•HEAL Health Ecosystem Alliance may well be a footnote to the health industry’s transition from “scattered efforts” to “ecological synergy.”
