The inaugural Jiangsu Development Summit held two years ago has helped to promote Nanjing’s campaign for a city of innovation with global influence as more and more investment projects have been launched in the city.
In the Nanjing Laboratory of Simcere Diagnostics, the fourth-generation nanopore sequencer from Nanopore, UK, is contributing to the rapid diagnosis and evaluation of the two rapid diagnosis methods of myocardial endometritis and respiratory infection independently developed by Simcere. It was not long before the two results will be marketed in advance.
Nanopore’s advanced technology that used to be in space is now even more brilliant in the labs of Nanjing, both to stimulate fruit and to perfect itself.
Simcere Diagnostics has attributed its accelerated pace of innovation to the inaugural Jiangsu Development Summit. This open and shared platform has enabled Simcere Pharmaceutical to quickly build many partnerships.
In the same year when the Jiangsu Development Summit was held, Simcere entered into a partnership with Nanopore by investing 2 million British pounds to introduce the latest generation of gene sequencing platform, which has boosted Simcere’s capabilities in precision diagnostics, and helped Nanjing launch the State Key Laboratory of Translational Medicine and Innovative Medicine.
In the meantime, a slew of industrial cooperation has come into emergence in Nanjing.
Dong Mingzhu, chairwoman of Gree Electric Appliances, was born in Nanjing. Two years ago at the development summit, she promised to return to her home city for investment and development.
Now Gree has launched a central air-conditioning intelligent manufacturing base in Binjiang Development Zone of Jiangning district to come up with a highly intelligent "Made in China" workshop model.
More than 70 investment projects have been launched since the inaugural development summit to bring more than 70 billion yuan of capital to Nanjing.
Through industrial cooperation, scientific and technological achievements transformation, and educational discipline cooperation, Nanjing has made innovative achievements in many fields such as new finance, intelligent manufacturing, pharmaceutical research and development, and innovation platforms.
