Recently, Huacao Town held the 2023 “Quality Strong Town” work conference and the “Quality Month” themed event. Representatives from more than 10 leading biopharmaceutical companies, including Innovent, Weigao, Neusoft, Yunnan Baiyao, Merck, Carl Zeiss, Organon, Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding, GlaxoSmithKline, Baxter Healthcare, and Takeda Pharmaceutical, along with experts and scholars from related fields, gathered to discuss “Quality Strong Town” initiatives and further promote high-quality development of the biopharmaceutical industry in Hongqiao Qianwan.
As a key development sector in Minhang District, the biopharmaceutical industry is attracting increasing foreign investment due to its unique advantages. Located at the core of the Hongqiao International Hub, Huacao leverages the high-end medical services cluster of the New Hongqiao International Medical Park to accelerate the construction of biopharmaceutical R&D headquarters for companies such as Innovent Biologics, Weigao Group, Yunnan Baiyao, Simcere Pharmaceutical, Neusoft Medical Systems, and Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group, thereby creating a biopharmaceutical industry cluster.
During the event, Zhao Yongqing, Deputy Director of Shanghai Chuangqi Health Development Research Institute, and representatives from leading biopharmaceutical companies such as Innovent, Weigao, Merck, and Organon, jointly discussed topics like “Opportunities for High-Level Openness in Hongqiao” and “High-Quality Development of the Medical and Health Industry under New Regulatory Policies.” They explored how to accelerate industry clustering, leverage resource advantages, and facilitate more medical enterprise projects in Qianwan.
Currently, nearly 100 domestic and foreign biopharmaceutical companies have gathered in Huacao, gradually forming a future health industry cluster integrating R&D, clinical services, and overall healthcare. The Hongqiao Qianwan area will continue to focus on biopharmaceuticals, developing a distinctive industry cluster, and leveraging the New Hongqiao International Medical Center to innovate and develop the entire biopharmaceutical industry chain, enhancing the biopharmaceutical industry brand.
Huacao Town officials stated that they will continue to serve as “store clerks” to resolve issues for enterprises, creating an excellent environment for business development and stimulating new momentum for Qianwan’s growth.
Government innovation services and enterprise confidence are key. This year, Huacao introduced ten business-friendly policies, providing conveniences in education, healthcare, elderly care, and housing for enterprises. By relocating and freeing up land, they create space for enterprise development. Building a “world-class reception room” offers an efficient investment environment for businesses.
To continuously empower leading and key enterprises, Huacao provides high-quality services while nurturing enterprise potential, aiming for them to become industry standard setters and leaders. In this government-enterprise collaboration, Shanghai Shengsheng Logistics Co., Ltd. is a beneficiary. As a leading biopharmaceutical cold chain distribution company rooted in Huacao for many years, Shengsheng Logistics, under the guidance and support of the town government, actively participates in national standard-setting projects, enhancing industry standards. Its clinical supply chain service standardization pilot project passed the municipal assessment with high scores.
Huacao promotes high-quality regional development through initiatives like encouraging applications for various government quality awards, “Shanghai Brand” certifications, “Shanghai Standards” recognitions, and “Standardization Demonstration Projects” at all levels. This year, several units and individuals recommended by Huacao Town, such as the Ji Wang Nursing Home in Minhang District, Shanghai Rizhi Sheng Technology Co., Ltd., New East Garden Happy Home, and Shanghai Yongfeng Hot Dip Galvanizing Co., Ltd., have won the District Mayor Quality Award Organization Silver Award, Individual Innovation Award, and Personal Silver Award.
