Zheng Yuguo, academician of the CAE Member, Xue Changhu, and more than 170 experts and scholars from all over the country in the field of synthetic biology, as well as leaders of leading enterprises in the industry, gathered together to exchange and cooperate and seek industrial development.
The conference is hosted by the Chinese Society of Bioengineering, the Shanghai Society of Bioengineering, and the "Sci Tech Innovation China" Biomedical Industry Science and Technology Service Team.
Baikai Sheng (Jiangsu) Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Bailun Biotechnology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., Juwei Yuanchuang (Lianyungang) Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Fushenghe Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Tanggou Lianghe Liquor Industry Co., Ltd., and Postal Savings Bank of China Guannan County Branch jointly undertake the project.
This conference plays an important role in promoting the development of synthetic biology in Lianyungang City. This will help Lianyungang City to proactively layout the synthetic biology manufacturing industry in areas such as bio based materials, agricultural food, medical aesthetics, and health, laying a solid foundation for building a leading area for the future synthetic biology industry.
It will take the lead in regional economic development and industrial upgrading, and enhance Lianyungang City's influence in the field of synthetic biology.
Before the meeting, Mayor Xing Zhengjun of Lianyungang City specially met with experts, scholars, and representatives of industry and enterprises attending the conference, welcoming them and thanking them for their concern and support for the development of Lianyungang.
Ren Jianping, Vice Mayor of Lianyungang City, and Xue Changhu, academician of the CAE Member, delivered speeches at the opening ceremony, congratulated the conference and emphasized the importance and prospect of the development of synthetic biology industry.
Zheng Yuguo, an academician of the CAE Member, delivered the theme report "Synthetic Biology: Biological Manufacturing - Cell Construction to Mass Production of Industrial Products", deeply analyzed the key technologies and development paths of synthetic biology in industrial applications, and brought cutting-edge knowledge and in-depth insights in professional fields to the participants.
Guannan County Mayor Gao Station made a county situation promotion, showcasing the advantages of Guannan County in terms of geographical location, industrial foundation, policy environment, etc., and attracting investment and cooperation.
The conference held a signing ceremony for key industrial projects, with 7 projects signed and settled in Guannan, with a total investment of 3 billion yuan, covering pilot platforms, bio food, medical beauty raw materials, biologics and other fields.
After all of these projects reach production capacity, it is expected to achieve an annual sales revenue of 5 billion yuan and a tax revenue of 400 million yuan, injecting new impetus into the economic growth of Guannan and even Lianyungang City, promoting the large-scale development of the synthetic biology industry, forming an industrial agglomeration effect, and driving the coordinated development of upstream and downstream related industries.
The Lianyungang Synthetic Biology Industry Fund Alliance has been officially established to provide financial support and capital operation platform for the development of the synthetic biology industry.
It helps to integrate resources from all parties, guide social capital to invest in key projects, promote industrial innovation and technological breakthroughs, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
In the expert interview session, renowned experts, scholars, and business leaders conducted extensive exchanges on cutting-edge topics such as empowering new quality productivity with synthetic biotechnology, constructing and applying new generation network models for core strains in biomanufacturing, and AI technology empowering the mining and reconstruction of synthetic microbial strain resources.
Share the latest research results, practical experience, and development trends, provide learning and exchange opportunities for participants, promote the deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application, promote the deep application of synthetic biology technology in the development of bioeconomy, provide intellectual support and innovative ideas for the development of synthetic biology manufacturing industry in Lianyungang City, and clarify the development direction.
