Recently, Thermo Fisher Technologies, a global leader in enabling scientific and technological progress (hereinafter referred to as: Thermo Field has released a new development commitment in China – “Lead and Co-growth”, which aims to further emphasize its local development strategy of leveraging global resources and innovative technologies to work together with local partners to promote local scientific and technological progress, empower local industrial ecology, and build a healthier, cleaner and safer future in China.
Having been in China for more than 40 years, Thermo Field has been committed to serving local customers with innovative solutions and making breakthroughs in the fields of technological innovation, local investment, ecological empowerment and sustainable development to meet the changing needs of the Chinese market. These initiatives not only reflect Thermo Fei’s advantages in global resources and local innovation, but also provide more stable and reliable support for the high-quality development of the Chinese market.
Global resources lead to local innovation
Thermo Feld invests more than $1.5 billion annually in research and development, employs more than 5,700 R&D scientists and engineers, provides more than 11 billion diagnostic tests annually, uses Thermo Feld medicines for more than 1 million patients every day, and helps monitor air quality in more than 80 countries on all seven continents. Behind this set of figures is the concentrated embodiment of Thermo Field’s continuous innovation in technology and services for more than 100 years to help human scientific exploration and social progress.
In China, Thermo Field continues to invest to enhance local R&D and production capabilities, lead local innovation in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical, healthcare, academic research and application markets, and build a strong local industry chain.
As early as 2013, Thermo Fei set up the China Innovation Center in Shanghai, China headquarters, to lay the foundation for accelerating local innovation. In the following ten years, Thermo Field China Precision Medical Science Center, biological process Design Center, life science research and development Center and other research institutions have been completed, not only to bring world-class cutting-edge technologies and products into China, but also to provide local partners with application development and training and other services to help enhance local partners independent research and development capabilities.
In terms of production, in recent years, Thermo Field has invested in the construction of Suzhou Life Science Industry Base, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area base and Hangzhou biopharmaceutical CDMO factory, which further enhances the manufacturing and service capabilities in the fields of biopharmaceutical and life science in combination with local demand, and provides a strong guarantee for the research and development and production of local partners with a solid industrial chain. For a long time, Thermo Fei has helped the development of local scientific services with its own scientific research strength, local innovative technology and “customized in China” products and solutions, and accelerated the process of localization of scientific research instruments. The continuous launch of domestic products such as disposable bioprocess container series products, virus detection and low temperature storage solutions, a variety of laboratory analytical instruments, materials and environmental testing instruments is the achievement of Thermo field’s development of independent research and development and production capacity in China, and also the driving force for continuous domestic development. In the future, with the introduction of global advanced production lines, Thermo Fei’s domestic products will meet the needs of the global market with higher standards.
In addition, the road to local development of Thermo Fei is inseparable from fellow travelers in the local scientific and technological innovation ecosystem. Thermo Field actively cooperates with many governments, parks, universities, research institutions and enterprises in China, committed to providing one-stop overall solutions for achievement transformation, enterprise incubation, talent training and industrial agglomeration, and building world-class industrial ecological clusters in biomedicine, life sciences and other fields. In recent years, Thermo Fei has cooperated with Xi ‘an Jiaotong University, University Analysis and Testing Branch of China Analysis and Testing Association, Chengdu Tianfu International Biological City, Beijing Xinsheng Nest and other domestic scientific research institutions and government parks to meet the needs of industry, university and research, and accelerate the transformation of local research and development and innovative technology in China
