The biotechnology industry is a sunrise industry in the 21st century and an important direction for Dongguan to cultivate new development momentum.
2022 Dongguan Municipal Government Work Report pointed out that in the next five years, we will focus on "scientific and technological innovation + advanced manufacturing" to promote high-quality development. Seven strategic emerging industry bases, including Songshan Lake Bio-Pharmaceutical Industry Base, are important carriers to achieve this goal.
has gone from almost "blank" to becoming a new pillar of the industry. Songshan Lake and Dongguan have been working hard to promote the development of the biotechnology industry for nearly 10 years. During this period, the Dongguan Biotechnology Industry Association (referred to as the "Biotechnology Industry Association"), as the "Songshan Lake's outstanding contribution enterprises and institutions for 20 years", played an indispensable role in connecting resources, gathering business formats, and promoting industrial development.
"We have a very professional team. In the early years, we have been brave and fast-paced, leading everyone to 'go out and invite in'." Song Tao, consultant of the Dongguan Municipal People's Government, president of the Biotechnology Industry Association, and chairman of Dongguan Biotechnology Industry Development Co., Ltd., said that in the future, the association will continue to make efforts in promoting the establishment of industrial development funds, building public service platforms and investing in enterprise projects, and promote the gathering and development of the biotechnology industry in Songshan Lake.

promotes the industry to achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1
In 2008, affected by the global financial crisis, domestic economic growth slowed down significantly, and traditional manufacturing industry was hit hard. At this time, promoting industrial transformation and high-tech industry development has become an important path to break through.
"At that time, Dongguan fully supported the construction of Songshan Lake, hoping to drive the city's transformation and upgrading." Song Tao said that in 2010, with the support of the provincial government, Dongguan established the Dongguan Taiwan High-Tech Park in Songshan Lake. As a carrier platform for introducing high-tech and strategic emerging industries to Taiwan, he led the investment promotion work, hoping to promote cross-strait economic cooperation to a new level.
In 2012, Dongguan Biotechnology Industry Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dongguan Biotechnology Company"), a wholly state-owned enterprise, was registered and established. Song Tao was appointed as chairman and led the comprehensive development and operation of Dongguan's cross-strait biotechnology industry cooperation base. Since then, he has officially entered the circle of the biotechnology industry.
Biotechnology Industry Association was established.
"At that time, the entire Dongguan was almost 'poor and backward' in this industry, and it was not until 2014 that it started." Song Tao said that at that time, there was still a lack of effective communication and cooperation channels in the industry, whether it was enterprises or enterprises and governments. "The establishment of an industry association was a good solution."
Against this background, Dongguan Biotechnology Company initiated the initiative to establish the Dongguan Biotechnology Industry Association, which received support from well-known companies such as Dongyangguang and Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical. After the establishment of the association, under the leadership of President Song Tao, everyone "grouped to keep warm" and actively participated in industry exhibitions, business inspections, etc. at home and abroad. This approach has opened up many opportunities for international exchanges and cooperation for the members of the association.
At the same time, under the leadership of the association, significant results have been achieved in the introduction of industrial resources. "We speak out for the industry in the name of the association, promote the formulation of some industrial policies, and continue to seek resources from the government, in order to improve the investment environment of the park." Song Tao said that through the efforts of all parties, as of the end of 2017, 20 biotechnology companies that meet the "Rongguan Plan" selection criteria were all settled in Songshan Lake. Its scope covers multiple sub-biological industries such as medical devices, IVD (in vitro diagnostic products), health food, medical beauty, etc., and are representative of the biotech industries in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In addition, the Biotechnology Industry Association has continuously strengthened the connection between biotechnology enterprises and government departments, scientific research platforms and universities, carried out exchanges between enterprises and enterprises, and regions, and provided services in policies, laws, information, technology, capital, human resources, etc. for Dongguan biotechnology enterprises, and built a biotechnology industry exchange platform by organizing industrial salons, professional forums, etc., creating a good communication environment for industrial development.
Investment and Financing Service Matching Meeting.
As of now, Songshan Lake has gathered more than 80% of the city's biological industry innovation resources, with more than 400 registered biopharmaceutical companies, and has leading technology companies in the biopharmaceutical sub-sectors such as Dongyangguang Pharmaceutical, Sansheng Pharmaceutical, Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical, Pumen Technology, and Feipeng Bio. Its agglomeration trend in the pharmaceutical, medical devices, health products and other industrial sectors.
builds a platform to empower industrial upgrading
promotes industrial agglomeration and development. Project introduction and the creation of industrial ecology can often form a virtuous cycle. Among them, it is also necessary to promote simultaneously in various aspects such as industrial policies, capital guidance, and service platform construction as important support.
Over the years, as the biotechnology industry gradually grows and grows in Songshan Lake and Dongguan, the Biotechnology Industry Association has promoted the construction of a number of public service platforms and industry-university-research institutions. Among them, it includes Guangdong Lianjie full chemical analysis and testing platform, Guanyi Biomedical and Bioactive Protein Public Service Platform, Guangdong Medical Device Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute (Dongguan Business Acceptance Center), etc.
For example, after the Guangdong Medical Device Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute (Dongguan Business Acceptance Center) is unveiled, the acceptance scope can cover all inspection projects of the Guangdong Medical Device Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute, including medical devices, biological materials, pharmaceutical packaging materials, disinfection products, medical electronics, medical materials, biological performance and other fields. It can also provide enterprises with "one-stop" convenient services such as consultation, window acceptance, and inspection.
And behind this, the Biotechnology Industry Association and Song Tao have devoted many years of hard work. He said that before each platform is implemented, it requires a long period of docking and negotiation, and even the consideration of "resource exchange". However, after the platform is established, it will help further reduce the innovation and entrepreneurship costs of related companies.
Dongguan Biotechnology Industry Building Project (Songhu Pharmaceutical Port Industrial Park).
In terms of carrier construction, in 2021, the Dongguan Biotechnology Industry Building Project (Songhu Pharmaceutical Port Industrial Park) was laid in Songshan Lake. The total land area of the project is 111,000 square meters, the planned total construction area is nearly 400,000 square meters, and the total investment exceeds 2 billion yuan.
Song Tao said that after the project is completed, the association will actively introduce a number of innovative, entrepreneurial, and high-growth biopharmaceutical enterprises to build a full-process vertical ecological system for the research and development, incubation, pilot production, clinical registration, and industrialization of the biotechnology industry, becoming the source of accelerated development of Dongguan's biotechnology industry, as well as the enterprise center, display center, public service supporting center of Songshan Lake and Dongguan's bioindustry.
In addition, the Songshan Lake Biopharmaceutical Industry Base is also accelerating its construction. Song Tao said that looking forward to the future, he hopes to promote the establishment of an industrial development fund through the power of the association to attract more high-quality projects to settle in Songshan Lake.
"In the future, the association will be market-oriented, focus on industrial chain integration, and focus on providing full-chain services for the industrialization of cutting-edge scientific research results." Song Tao said that at the new starting point of Dongguan's "double ten thousand" city, he hopes to give full play to the strength of the association, promote the development and growth of the biotechnology industry, and cultivate a new growth pole for Dongguan's high-quality sustainable development.
