Zhongxin Finance, May 10 (Shao Wan Yungong Hongyu) On the 10th, the National Development and Reform Commission released the "14th Five-Year Plan for Bioeconomic Development", which is also my country's first five-year bioeconomy plan.

  Improving the ability to respond to major severe infectious diseases, speeding up the upgrading of vaccine technology, and developing new foods with "synthetic protein"... These keywords were mentioned in my country's first five-year bioeconomy plan.

Improve the ability to respond to major severe infectious diseases

  Wang Xiang, deputy director of the High Technology Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced at a press conference held on the 10th that the "Planning" foresees that in 2035, my country's comprehensive strength of bio-economy will rank among the top in the world, basically forming a leading technological level, strong industrial strength, and integration. A new development situation with extensive application, strong resource guarantee, controllable security risks, and complete institutional system.

  The "Plan" proposes to promote the development of the medical and health industry, assist in the early prevention of diseases, accelerate the iterative upgrade of vaccine R&D and production technologies, develop polyvalent and multivalent vaccines, develop new genetically engineered vaccines and therapeutic vaccines, and improve the ability to respond to major severe infectious diseases.

  In addition, it is necessary to promote the deep integration of advanced technologies such as genetic testing and biological genetics with disease prevention, carry out early screening of major diseases such as genetic diseases, birth defects, tumors, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic diseases, and provide precise solutions and decisions for individualized treatment. support.

At the same time, improve the ability of disease diagnosis and clinical medical level.

Explore and develop new foods such as "artificial protein"

  The "Plan" proposes to orderly develop biological breeding technologies such as genome-wide selection, systems biology, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence, develop synthetic biology technologies, and explore and develop new foods such as "artificial proteins".

Improve the production capacity and quality of important agricultural products such as grain.

  The "Plan" requires that on the premise of respecting science, strict supervision, compliance with laws and regulations, and ensuring safety, the industrial application of biological breeding and other fields should be promoted in an orderly manner, and the supply of important agricultural products such as grain, meat, eggs, milk, and oil crops should be guaranteed.

Orderly develop whole-genome selection, systems biology, synthetic biology, artificial intelligence and other biological breeding technologies, focus on improving the capabilities of improved seed breeding, production and processing, promotion and application, and accelerate the construction of a commercial breeding innovation system.

orderly development of biomass power generation

  The "Plan" announced this time also proposes to promote the development of bio-energy and bio-environmental protection industries, and actively develop bio-energy.

Develop biomass power generation in an orderly manner, and promote the transformation and upgrading to cogeneration.

Carry out research and development and cultivation of new biomass energy technologies, promote the integrated development of biofuels and biochemical industries, and establish biomass combustion and blending standards.

  The "Plan" clarifies that the use of functional microorganisms, enzyme preparations and other biological technologies will promote the realization of water body denitrification and phosphorus removal, heavy metal soil remediation, solid waste utilization and disposal, promote the improvement of the comprehensive utilization level of straw, and develop the biological environment response monitoring and biodegradation of pollutants. And bioremediation, biological resource recycling and other bio-environmental protection industry chains, to help win the battle of air, water, soil and other pollution prevention and control.

  In addition, the "Planning" also proposes to optimize and improve medium and high temperature anaerobic fermentation strains, improve the development level of biomass anaerobic treatment technology and anaerobic fermentation complete sets of equipment, and accelerate the research and development of key technologies such as biological natural gas, cellulosic ethanol, and algal biofuels. and equipment manufacturing.

Actively promote the replacement, promotion and application of advanced biofuels in key areas such as municipal administration and transportation, and promote the transformation of fossil energy into green, low-carbon and renewable energy.

These industries will become the pillar industries of the bio-economy

  Wang Xiang said at a press conference that the bioeconomy covers a wide range of industries and covers many fields.

The "Plan" deploys and cultivates the pillar industries of the bio-economy from the following four aspects.

  The first is

to accelerate the empowerment of the health industry by biotechnology.

It is reflected in three promotions: promoting the deep integration of advanced technologies such as genetic testing and biological genetics with disease prevention; promoting the integration and innovation of biotechnology and cutting-edge technologies such as precision machinery, new materials, and additive manufacturing; promoting genome editing, microfluidic chips, cell Advanced technologies such as preparation automation are integrated with biopharmaceutical research and development.

  The second is to

accelerate biological breeding technology to empower the biological agriculture industry.

Orderly develop whole-genome selection, systems biology, artificial intelligence and other biological breeding technologies to improve the production capacity and quality of important agricultural products such as grain; develop green agriculture, promote the integration of cutting-edge biotechnology in the agricultural field, and improve my country's agricultural production efficiency.

  The third is to

accelerate bio-manufacturing technology to empower bio-energy and bio-environmental protection industries.

Develop high-performance biological environmental protection materials and biological preparations, functional microorganisms, and enzyme preparations to help environmental protection and pollution control; carry out research and development and cultivation of new biomass energy technologies, and promote the transformation of fossil energy into green, low-carbon and renewable energy.

  The fourth is to

accelerate information technology to empower the bioinformatics industry.

Relying on artificial intelligence technology, biomedicine and health big data resources to assist the research and development of personalized new drugs; use 5G, blockchain, Internet of Things and other cutting-edge technologies to realize the full life cycle management of drugs and vaccines from production to use; deepen the development of health big data in the Applications in medical research, education and training, clinical diagnosis and treatment, product development, industry governance, medical insurance payment, etc.
