Recently, Ningbo Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology held a seminar on the development of the life and health industry in Ningbo. The 3-year (2013-2015) plan for Ningbo life and health industry was then presented to related experts and entrepreneurs for suggestions.
Life and health industry is one of the eight strategic emerging industries in Ningbo, with the characteristics of energy-saving, environmental friendliness, high technology, high output and high added value. After years' development, the industry has formed a solid basis in Ningbo. Currently, there are over 110 scale enterprises in the life and health industry, including such featured fields as bio-medicine, high-end medical instruments, food safety and bio-agriculture. Over 20 of the enterprises are those with an annual output of over 100 million yuan.
To promote the healthy and fast development of the industry, the Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology has organized related experts to carry out theme studies before drafting the 3-year action plan, and has invited some experts and entrepreneurs to discuss about the plan.
According to the plan, in the following period, the life and health industry in Ningbo will focus on the four fields of bio-medicine, medical instruments, food safety and bio-agriculture. By building a range of public service platforms and improving the service system, it is hoped that the industry can make some key breakthroughs in technology and implement a batch of major industrial projects. Through the “3315 plan” and the training project for leading talents, Ningbo is to introduce a range of high-end talents and innovative teams in life and health industry. In addition, by making full play of the "angel investment fund", Ningbo will encourage the civil capitals to establish venture enterprises and support the investment of civil capitals in the life and health industry.
It is estimated that by the end of 2015, the key fields of Ningbo's life and health industry will have gained a fast development, the industrial park will have been formed and R & D ability will have been greatly enhanced, with a total output of 30 million yuan and an annual growth rate of 25%.
