Wuhan plans to build a world-class biomedical and medical device industry cluster

After 10 years of construction, Wuhan National Bio-Industry Base (Guanggu Bio-City) has gathered more than 2,000 kinds of bio-enterprises. Last year, the total income of bio-industry exceeded 120 billion yuan, ranking third in the comprehensive competitiveness of the national bio-pharmaceutical industrial park. .

It’s hard to make a success. Standing in the long run, in the next 10 years or even 20 years, where does the high-quality development of Optics Valley Bio City point to?

On November 12th, an expert consultation meeting for the construction of a world-class biomedical and medical device industry cluster planning program in Wuhan was held in Han. Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Zhou Ji, Fan Mingwu, Martin, academician Ye Zhaohui of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other experts and scholars were invited to offer advice and suggestions for the development of Wuhan's health industry.

"Nuclear-polar-park-circle"

Wuhan builds a new pattern of the development of large health industry

Wuhan plans to build a world-class biomedical and medical device cluster plan, with a focus on biomedical and medical devices and related R&D services, precision medicine, smart healthcare and other industrial developments.

The plan is to plan to build a bio-pharmaceutical and medical device cluster in Wuhan in the near future, leading the industrial agglomeration of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and becoming one of the key industrial development areas of the country. Long-term prospects to 2035, Wuhan will strive to be an important node in the global biomedical and medical device industry chain and innovation chain.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Wuhan Economic and Information Committee, in recent years, Wuhan has basically built an industrial system with more than 20 sub-sectors covering various fields such as medicine, medical equipment, smart medical care and precision medical treatment. Judging from the development trend of the world biomedical industry, it is currently at the beginning stage of large-scale industrialization of biotechnology, and is about to enter a period of rapid development, and gradually become the leading industry of the world economy. With the guidance of China's "Healthy China 2030", innovation-driven development and other major industrial development strategies, the review and approval of drug and medical device review and approval, "bio-economy" is beginning to emerge, biomedical and medical device industry will become a new economic development in China. growth point.

To this end, the planning proposal proposes to build a new pattern of “nuclear-polar-garden-circle” echelon development, gather superior resources, and build a cluster of biomedicine and medical device industries with global influence and domestic first-class.

Nuclear, is to use Optics Valley Bio City as an industry-driven nuclear, focusing on the development of headquarters economy, R & D innovation, innovative business incubation, and undertake high-end processing of international biomedicine; Pole, namely Yangtze River New City, with headquarters economy, life science research and development and precision medicine, Wisdom medical treatment is the main feature, developing a new growth pole for high-end biomedicine and medical device industry; the park, namely in Jiangxia, Qingshan, Xinzhou, Huangpi and other districts, plans to build industrial parks such as modern medicine, smart old-age, precision medical care; Focusing on Wuhan's “1+8 City Circle”, it will strengthen industrial exchanges and cooperation with neighboring cities and form a biomedical and medical device industry circle with Wuhan as the leader.

Academician experts say Wuhan bio-industry development

Both must be considered in a comprehensive manner, but also in-depth

Does Wuhan plan to build a world-class biomedical and medical device cluster plan, which is in line with the development rhythm of Wuhan bio-industry in the next 10 years? What shortcomings are needed in the development process? In this regard, academician experts have given their opinions.

Yuan Zhiming, dean of the Wuhan Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the plan pointed out the direction for the future development of Wuhan's bio-industry, but the follow-up still needs to be refined. For example, although Wuhan currently has abundant medical resources, it still has short-boards in the construction of biomedical service systems, which is difficult to meet future needs. In addition, there are still many homework assignments in important areas such as new drug research and development and outsourcing services. “The key areas must be supported, but the weak short-board areas need more support so that they can develop in a balanced and balanced manner”.

Ye Zhaohui, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that the biomedical and medical device industry should be the third pole of Wuhan's economic development, and the plan needs to be more detailed. He said that the current plan is a big policy, and it must be implemented in detail, and it must be layered and thinned to make each piece of the industry development clearer. "For example, in the subdivision of medical imaging, how to form new growth points in the future, how to introduce and cultivate enterprises, there must be specific measures." Ye Zhaohui said.

Martin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that the plan must be long-term and grounded. For specific implementation, we must find a small incision and prepare for long-term investment, and implement it step by step.

Zhou Ji, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the pre-planning of all things is not foreseen, and Wuhan City is working on a plan that deserves to be praised. However, the current development status of Wuhan's big health industry, there is still a small gap between the goals proposed by the program, and the task is very arduous. "The big health industry is a sunrise industry, and the biomedicine and medical device industries are expected to be trillions." Zhou Ji said that Wuhan must do a good job in the high-quality development of the big health industry. The concentration of the industry is the key to the combination. Internet +", big data, artificial intelligence and other related industries must make a good article in cultivating, introducing and developing large enterprises, and build Wuhan into a highland where industries gather. At the same time, it is necessary to plan new policies and better implementation in the development of the bio-industry for 10 years, and further improve the program to stimulate people's enthusiasm.
