Huangpu Biomedicine Cluster
Biomedicine Cluster
Huangpu Distirct
Huangpu District’s Biomedicine Cluster has a mature industry, innovation, and regulatory affairs setup. A unique ecosystem has grown there with corporate and scientific R&D centres, biosafety laboratories, manufacturing bases of local and international SMEs as well as Multinationals, and a fully operational NMPA office as well as different clinical trial centres, which will enable and boost your buiness development in China and Asia.
More than 500 biomedicine related enterprises generate a total industrial output of more than USD 16 Billion. Huangpu District’s main important biomedicine hubs are Guangzhou International Bio-Island in the South of the District and Guangzhou Medical Valley in the North of the District, located in the so called China Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City. While Bio Island is dedicted to healthcare R&D and innovation, the Medical Valley is mainly dedicated to scaling-up and large scale manufacturing. Multinationals and SMEs therefore often follow a “two-pillar-strategy”: (1) R&D on Bio-Island and (2) “spinn-out” the innovation to Knowledge City for scaling and mass-manufacturing.
Guangzhou International
Bio-Island
Guangzhou International Bio-Island is Greater Bay Area’s leading biomedicine, life science, bio tech and med tech R&D hub. On the only 1.83 km² large island situated near Guangzhou’s CBD more than 350 companies create next generation innovation in more than 80 laboratories. Multinationals like Astra Zeneca, cytiva, Thermo Fischer have established R&D centres and South China Headquarters here.
The island is also home to one of only three Biomaterial Rapid Customs Clearance Platforms in China. Thanks to a fast-track customs inspection platform, multi-temperature storage rooms as well as BSL 2 and BSL 3 laberatories which receive biomaterials directly from Baiyun Airport Guangzhou, companies in Huangpu can save about 2-3 working days processing time and 30-50% of customs clearance cost.
Guangzhou International Bio-Island furthermore is also the base of the Sino-Israel Incubator & Fund, BRTAG (joined NIBRT’s global partnership programme to deliver localized NIBRT training courses), Bio Land Lab Accelerator and Guangzhou Lab which is lead by the internationally renown academian Professor Zhong Nanshan.
