The Putuo District High end Medical Device Special Committee has been established today, focusing on the subdivision of the industrial chain and the collaborative research and development of supply and demand | Medical Devices | Putuo District
On August 29th, the Putuo District High end Medical Device Special Committee was officially launched and established.
It is reported that this is the first "dedicated service platform" within the Putuo District Life and Health Industry Alliance that focuses on segmenting the industrial chain, bringing together nearly 50 relevant enterprises and units from within the district. Universal Medical is one of the member units of the specialized committee. Li Rui, the general manager of the enterprise, introduced, "As a medical device enterprise rooted in Putuo, when I established the Life and Health Industry Alliance in Putuo, I was thinking that the coverage of the life and health industry is very wide, and there are significant differences in various sub fields. If a more focused platform could be established within the alliance, the alliance activities would be better carried out. Therefore, I strongly agree with and support the alliance in finding small incisions like high-end medical devices, establishing sub field committees, and allowing more medical device related enterprises to join, share experiences, and collaborate to solve problems, so as to form regional economies of scale."
The reporter learned that the life and health industry is one of the four key industries in Putuo District. In the industry segmentation map, pharmaceutical distribution and sales account for over 80% of the industry, with rapid growth in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research and development, high-end medical devices, digital healthcare and health services. As of now, there are 57 high-end medical device enterprises gathered in the entire region, and the district level tax contribution has increased by 30.55% year-on-year.
Data shows that high-end medical devices are the four areas in the development map of the life and health industry, with the least number of enterprises, the highest proportion of enterprises in the tax rate, the highest added value, and the fastest development speed. "Therefore, based on the industrial alliance, we have established a high-end medical device specialized committee in specific fields, hoping to integrate resources, focus on policies, and leverage the advantages of enterprises in this industry and field. We will attract business through commerce, attract investment in the industrial chain and supply chain, form an industrial ecosystem conducive to the agglomeration and development of high-end medical devices, and promote high-quality development of the industry." The relevant person in charge of the Putuo District Life and Health Industry Specialized Team introduced.
Li Ruishen agrees with this and told reporters that in the next step, the company will leverage its own advantages to actively provide and connect various industry resources for the members of the special committee. "For example, medical device type testing, animal experiments, clinical trials, registration applications, and market promotion will fully utilize the platform of the special committee to deepen cooperation with members, strengthen communication and cooperation with diverse parties, promote industry openness and innovation, transformation and upgrading, and strive to build a collaborative and win-win medical device industry ecosystem." Li Rui said.
In addition to focusing on subdividing the industrial chain to seek high-quality development, Putuo also utilized research and in-depth visits to nearly a hundred life and health enterprises in the area. "We have learned that many enterprises have common needs in supply and demand docking, technological innovation, and financing services. Therefore, in addition to the establishment of the special committee, we have also concentrated resources and efforts to simultaneously carry out supply and demand docking activities for medical devices. The relevant person in charge of the life and health industry special team in Putuo District said that they hope to use the form of government departments' matchmaking and bridging 'to share industry information, build new business links from it, and harvest new and prosperous business opportunities.".
It is reported that the life and health industry has maintained a rapid growth trend of over 30% per year for three consecutive years since being listed as one of the "Four Major Industries" in Putuo. According to the "411 Doubling Plan" for regional development, from January to July 2023, the life and health industry has achieved a year-on-year increase of 34.79% in district level tax revenue. Since the beginning of this year, 376 new life and health industry enterprises have been introduced.
