Focus on Cross Border Integration of Biomedicine and Chemical Materials: New Opportunities, New Technologies and New Models

This forum focuses on the interdisciplinary and cutting-edge technologies of biology and chemical industry, explores technological trends and industrial opportunities, and explores the establishment of new mechanisms and models for the deep integration of industry, university, research and application, so as to jointly promote the high-quality integrated development of biomedical and chemical industry.

Developing the biomedical industry is a strategic task and a major mission entrusted to Shanghai by the CPC Central Committee.With the continuous development of pharmaceutical and chemical technology, pharmaceutical and chemical industry has obviously become a hot spot of global scientific research and industrial development.Biomedicine and new materials have been listed as the strategic emerging industries of Shanghai during the 14th Five-year Plan period. In order to become an important source of “new scientific discoveries, new technological inventions, new industrial directions and new development concepts”, Shanghai needs to make new achievements in biomedicine and new materials, which are the source of life and health.At present, what are the new hotspots of biomedical basic research?How to improve the high-end of medical materials by new chemical process?What are the new trends in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry?What new opportunities does Shanghai face?These are all strategic issues worth exploring.

On the afternoon of October 15, 2021 Pujiang Innovation Forum • Emerging Technology Forum will be held with the theme of “Cross Border Integration of Biomedicine and Chemical Materials:The forum was hosted by Shanghai Academy of Sciences and Shanghai Huayi (Group) Co., LTD., and co-organized by Shanghai Institute of Biomedical Technology and Shanghai Research Institute of Chemical Industry Co., LTD. More than 200 experts and honored guest from education, research and production attended the forum.

At the meeting, Zhang Quan, Director of Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, Xiao Wengao, Deputy Secretary of Putuo District Party Committee, Shanghai, and Liu Xunfeng, Secretary of Shanghai Huayi Group Party Committee and Chairman of Shanghai Huayi Group Made speeches successively.

The fifth Plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee stressed the central role of innovation in China’s overall modernization drive, and regarded self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology as “strategic support for national development,” Zhang said in his speech.Xi Jinping, general Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), has pointed out that Shanghai should be brave enough to pick up the heaviest burdens and bite on the hardest bones. It should make major innovations in basic science and technology and make breakthroughs in key and core technologies, so as to better play its role as a source of scientific and technological innovation.I am very happy to see that today’s forum is a good platform to strengthen interdisciplinary integration and promote industry-university-research cooperation.The forum focuses on the cross-border integration of biomedical and chemical materials, and discusses the new opportunities, new technologies and new models for the future convergence development.It is believed that such exchanges and cooperation will help achieve close and precise docking between the innovation chain and the industrial chain, and better enhance Shanghai’s innovation capacity in biomedicine and new materials.

The theme of this forum is “Cross Border Integration of Biomedicine and Chemical Materials”, which conforms to the national strategic needs, Said Xiao Wengao, the district governor.It is of great significance for the development of the industry to discuss the in-depth integration of biomedicine and chemical materials and to find new opportunities, break through new technologies and explore new models.During the 14th Five-year Plan period, Putuo District will actively build itself into a new development pole of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center to better serve the construction of Shanghai science and technology Innovation Center.Focusing on industries such as biotechnology, new materials and new-generation information technology, it aims to build a group of service-oriented R&D headquarters by focusing on services such as inspection, testing and certification, transformation of scientific and technological achievements, design and general contracting for integration.With putuo’s gold medal service of “reliable people and good things done”, we will create a market-oriented, law-based and internationalized first-class business environment that “enables enterprises to handle affairs more easily, operate more safely, develop more smoothly and take root more safely”.We sincerely invite all experts and entrepreneurs to visit Putuo for more visits, exchanges and cooperation, so as to jointly build a bio-pharmaceutical industrial cluster and advanced materials development highland with Shanghai characteristics.

Chairman Liu Xunfeng said in his speech:As Shanghai huayi group of large chemical industry, new material industry group under sasac, always adhere to the country and the strategic needs of Shanghai service, adhere to the “green development, innovation and development, high-end development, development and integration of intercity development”, during the period of “difference” key layout “new materials, new energy, environmental protection, biological” four strategic areas,Among them, the two business fields of new materials and new biology are highly compatible with the theme of this forum.Huayi group always adhere to the open cooperation and win-win development, hope that through this BBS thought feast, as a group of new material, new technology research and development in the field of biological business and bring more inspiration to the development of the coordination, cooperate with production, deeply from all walks of life, form innovation together, jointly promote the biological pharmaceutical and chemical new materials industry development and progress.

Focus on the four bright spots of the forum:

Bright spot 1
Gathering of high-level experts in biomedicine and new materials: intellectual collision between experts from science and technology and industry
Chen Fener, academician of The Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of chemistry at Fudan University, Huang Hefeng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and dean of the Institute of Reproduction and Development at Fudan University shared the development trend of the deep integration of biomedical and chemical materials industries, and provided suggestions for promoting the innovation sources of strategic emerging industries in Shanghai.

Bright spot 2
In-depth dialogue with representatives from research institutes, enterprises and industry associations
Experts from research institutes, enterprises and industry associations representing gathered around the hotspot in what are the new trends and new biological material, new material what “their” in the field of technology to medicine, and the joint research of chemical engineering, new materials and biological medicine enterprise how to more effective cooperation, Shanghai early movers in medicine and chemical industry quality standards,Carry on the thought exchange and the viewpoint collision, arouse a different kind of spark.

Bright spot 3
A framework agreement on strategic cooperation between enterprises, universities and research institutes was signed to promote the precise alignment of innovation and industrial chains
The in-depth integration of biomedicine and chemical materials requires not only industry-university-research cooperation, but also the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements and the search for application scenarios.On the BBS, Shanghai chemical industry research institute co., LTD. And Shanghai biological pharmaceutical technology research institute, Shanghai chemical industry research institute co., LTD. And Shanghai institute of materials, signed the “strategic cooperation framework agreement”, give full play to their respective resource advantages, the industrialization of achievement of interdisciplinary research, key technology development, and application scenario development, talent exchange cooperation,Let the pharmaceutical and chemical industry empower “people’s city” and contribute to the high-quality economic development of Shanghai.

Bright spot 4
