China’s government recently revealed more information regarding their plans to expand the Chinese biotech industry. Chinese officials announced that with this plan they believe they can double the sector’s contribution to the national GDP by 2015 and establish China’s biotech sector as a major industry by 2020.
Chinese Biotech Industry Plans
China’s ‘National Program on Bioscience Technology Development 2010-2020’ is focused on establishing China as a top global biotech innovator. The program, issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology, has established very specific goals for developing China’s biotech industry. The plan’s focus is on strengthening the sector’s innovation and technical capabilities, and is primarily aimed at addressing national problems related to population growth, food safety, energy conservation and environmental protection:
- Produce 3-5 world-class scientists in bioscience (with Nobel Prize potential);
- Build a “biotech talent pyramid,” focusing on five major areas: i.e. developing world-class talent, innovation, leadership, industry expertise, and biotech management;
- Cultivate 30-50 world-class innovators as well as innovation teams in the areas of: genomics and functional genomics, stem cells and tissue engineering, transgenic plants and animals, cloned animals, and neuroscience;
- Produce 300-500 leaders in the field, 30,000-50,000 specialists, and 300,000 bio-industry experts in the areas of bio-medicine, bio-agriculture, bio-manufacturing, and bio-environment; cultivate and develop 3000-5000 senior managers in biotechnology.
China’s biotech sector is one of seven emerging industries prioritized by the government over the next few years. With this program, the number of employees working in the industry will be more than doubled.
