WUXI, China, April 22, 2021 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--
From April 21 to 23, the 2021 Taihu Bay Future Healthcare Conference was held
in Wuxi, China. More than 160 experts including Hejie, Fan Chunhai and many
other academicians carried out forward-looking, authoritative, and predictive
exchanges and dialogues on topics such as industrial investment and
cooperation, medical collaborative ecology, and intelligent medical trends,
according to Wuxi Science and Technology Bureau.
This conference is a landmark event in the development of Wuxi's biomedical
industry. Huang Qin, Secretary of Wuxi Municipal Committee of the CPC, said
that Wuxi regards the biomedical industry as a strategic emerging industry that
is key to its development, and strives to build a world-class industrial chain.
In recent years, Wuxi's biomedical industry has developed rapidly. This
benefits from a good industrial foundation and historical endowment. It is also
related to the local government's strategy and the pioneering spirit of the
local people since the 1990s.
Du Xiaogang, Mayor of Wuxi personally serves as the "chain leader" of the
biomedical industry chain. At present, Wuxi has gathered more than 1,000
biomedical companies such as AstraZeneca and WuXi AppTec. The scale of the
industry has exceeded 100 billion yuan. The target is 250 billion yuan in 2025.
In 2019, Wuxi and AstraZeneca cooperated to build the "Wuxi International Life
Science Innovation Park" (I Campus). This innovative cooperation model based on
enterprise leadership and market driving has injected new vitality into the
in-depth construction of the industrial chain. There are 4 such biomedical
industrial parks in Wuxi, with a professional platform of 860,000 square meters.
In the future, Wuxi will concentrate its efforts to increase R&D investment,
create two international leading innovation centers for innovative drug
discovery and health food, and build an innovation cluster for the three major
industries of high-end medical equipment, precision medicine, and digital
medicine.
With the gradual maturity of the "No. 1 Project" Taihu Bay Science and
Technology Innovation Center built by Wuxi, an internationally influential
biomedical industry cluster will emerge here.
