China News Service, Tianjin, November 29th (Zhang Shaoxuan, Wang Zaiyu) On the 29th, the "Eleventh China Industrial Biotechnology Development Summit Forum and the Sixth Biological "Industrial Investment Conference" opened in Tianjin.
It is understood that this conference will last for three days, with the theme of "creating cell factories and developing bio-economy", and discussing the strategic tasks and direction paths of bio-manufacturing supporting the high-quality development of bio-economy under the background of "dual carbon".
Thousands of experts, scholars, entrepreneurial talents, entrepreneurs, and investors from the scientific, industrial, and financial circles in China's biotechnology and industrial fields participated in the conference.
As a landmark achievement of the China Industrial Biotechnology Development Summit Forum, the "White Paper on China's Industrial Biotechnology Development 2022 - The 10-Year Road of Bioindustry" was released at the conference, comprehensively summarizing the basic research and application of China's industrial biotechnology in the past ten years Achievements and influences in research, technology transformation and industrial development.
During the conference, Zhao Guoping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a researcher at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chen Jian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor of the School of Bioengineering of Jiangnan University, will focus on the latest developments in basic research of industrial biotechnology, development of underlying technologies, and innovation of key technologies. Progress, as well as keynote reports on bio-energy, bio-food, ecological agriculture, bio-medicine, and renewable chemicals.
Nearly 40 leading scholars and academic leaders in the field of industrial biotechnology from 28 universities and scientific research institutions, including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, Institute of Microbiology, Qingdao Institute of Energy, will share in the form of summit forum reports In recent years, the latest progress and breakthroughs in key technological innovations in industries such as chemical green biosynthesis, biomass conversion and renewable chemicals, and future food biomanufacturing.
The conference will also focus on the four sectors of biomanufacturing, biomedicine, bioagriculture, and high-end equipment, and invite representatives of scientific research institutes and university scientists to conduct dialogues and discussions on hot topics such as opportunities and challenges for industrial development.
At the same time, 12 entrepreneurial projects in different directions will be exhibited at the conference to share the latest research and development achievements and industrialization progress.
At the opening ceremony, Academician Chen Zhu, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said that in the future, China will face a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation in the world. Facing the country's major strategic needs, China's industrial biotechnology should focus on building a bio-economy. The core, based on serving the needs of people's livelihood, promotes industrial biotechnology to fully empower industries such as medicine, chemicals, food, agriculture, and energy.
"Breakthroughs in synthetic biology and gene editing underlying technology will accelerate the disruptive innovation of biotechnology, and its application in the field of industrial manufacturing is promoting the establishment of a new model of clean, green and sustainable material supply. The Chinese Academy of Sciences will cooperate with Tianjin We will cooperate to promote the construction of the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biology and the National Synthetic Biology Technology Innovation Center with high standards." Academician Zhang Tao, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an interview.
Ma Yanhe, director of the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said when talking about China (Tianjin) Biomanufacturing Valley: "This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the future, the 'Manufacturing Valley' will Carrying the production demonstration line of a batch of independent innovative products such as healthy food bio-manufacturing projects and the construction of 13 key projects such as Zhongke Fosun Tianjin Bio-Industry Base. Among them, the carbon dioxide artificial starch engineering test platform is expected to be realized in 2022. Large-scale manufacturing of artificial starch under technical conditions. In the next three years, we will further optimize the artificial starch synthesis process, realize the development of special functional starch production process, and continuously reduce the production cost of artificial starch.” (End)
