Yesterday, the 2026 World Conference on Traditional Medicine opened in Beijing. With the theme of “Technology Empowering Integrated Development: Promoting Traditional Medicine for Everyone”, the conference brought together representatives from 97 countries and regions to conduct in-depth exchanges on the development of traditional medicine industries in various countries and promote exchanges and mutual learning of traditional medicine between China and foreign countries. Eight parallel academic forums were set up at the conference, covering many fields such as evidence-based research, international standards, drug regulation, artificial intelligence, etc. Experts and scholars focused on key areas of traditional medicine development represented by traditional Chinese medicine to provide academic support and practical reference for the inheritance, innovation and development of traditional medicine around the world. A number of important outcome documents will be released during the conference, including the “Beijing Initiative for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Traditional Medicinal Plant Resources”, “Global Artificial Intelligence Empowers Traditional Medicine Development Report”, and the “Shennong Tastes 100 Herbs in the New Era” campaign. Each parallel forum will also publish a series of results in their respective fields to further enrich the results of the conference.
