Hard-core landing! 8 national-level pilot platforms are ready, supporting China's bio-manufacturing foundation.
On 5 18, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released the preliminary list of the second batch of key pilot platforms for cultivation, with 111 platforms selected across six major sectors. Among themExclusive 8 spot in the bio-manufacturing sectorCovering synthetic biology, intelligent biomanufacturing, green biomanufacturing, and AI-driven biomanufacturing, we have officially established the national-level pilot team for biomanufacturing.
These 8 platforms spanTianjin, Hebei, Jiangsu, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi6 provinces and cities, covering strain construction, process development, pilot validation, regulatory filing, and intelligent manufacturing to form a complete closed loop from source innovation to scaled implementation, fundamentally solving the industry's critical bottleneck of "strong in the lab, weak in commercialization" for biomanufacturing.
[ National Pilot Platform Matrix Accelerates Formation ]
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission propose that by 2027, we aim to establish more than 20 pilot-scale capacity platforms for biomanufacturing, serve over 200 enterprises, incubate more than 400 products, and effectively support the transition from "small-scale testing" to "pilot-scale expansion" and finally to "industrial application" of innovation results.
Pilot PlatformIt is an indispensable bridge connecting laboratory research to large-scale production, undertaking critical tasks such as process scale-up and technology validation. Pilot testing represents a crucial step in translating scientific achievements into commercial applications. As a key link in converting biotechnological innovations into industrial production, it serves as a vital pillar of the bio-manufacturing industry ecosystem.
The following 8 large-scale pilot platforms have been selected in the field of biomanufacturing:
