Expo, a relatively remote corner, more than 20 "smallest booths" huddled together, forming one of the most unique scenery since the fourth Expo-the medical device and medical and health care exhibition area The first innovation incubation area.
not only the booth area is small, but also the exhibitors in it ridiculed that their special area is the "shabby exhibition area" of the Expo-a rectangular space of 4-5 square meters, barely squeezing a round table, a side table and two stools.
, a cabinet, and a TV on the background board.
is small and shabby, in the eyes of experts, it may be the most dynamic and potential world in this Expo.
27 Chinese and foreign start-up enterprises are eager to make use of the powerful platform of the Expo to create a better future.
it is not too much to say that this is the "strongest desire for survival" exhibition area.
just started "small pig"
Innovation Incubation Zone, a display screen is scrolling and playing eye-catching pictures of "mini pigs", attracting many curious viewers.
this booth belongs to a special "pig farm"-Jinyue Biotechnology Co., Ltd. from Shanghai. The piglet in the picture is their latest research result-a Beethoven deaf miniature pig used in drug research and development experiments.
The drug development sector has been highly dependent on experimental monkeys, and the neo-coronary pneumonia epidemic has dramatically increased this demand, with the global price of experimental monkeys skyrocketing to about $100000 a monkey in 2021, still in short supply. As the "main substitute" experimental pigs gradually entered the field of vision of scientific research institutions.
"Experimental pigs are the main choice for future animal experiments. Compared to experimental monkeys, the cardiovascular system, digestive system, and skin structure of pigs are more similar to humans, and there is no ethical controversy over non-human primates, making them easier to be accepted by the public." Jin Yue biological senior researcher Zhu Jiang introduced.
"Denmark already has a fairly mature experimental pig company, and there is no similar supplier in China that can provide small pigs without specific pathogens. We hope to be a pioneer." Zhu Jiang said.
Despite the huge market in front of them, breeding experimental pigs is "not urgent". "It may take about ten generations of domestication and nearly ten years to get the ideal Chinese version of the experimental miniature pig." Zhu Jiang said that when the Expo next year, Jinyue biological experimental animal platform in Jinshan District of Shanghai should be completed, but how to survive the long R & D cycle is an urgent problem. Find patient investors, future buyers, and expand the scope of business as soon as possible. This series of difficult problems may be solved at the fair.
"The Innovation Incubation Zone of the CIIE gives start-ups a rare opportunity. We can participate in the exhibition for free and contact a large number of peers in a short time." Zhu Jiang found that the upstream and downstream enterprises and investment institutions that used to fly to visit all over the world suddenly gathered around each other, greatly reducing the cost of communication.
Zhu Jiang said that in the past four days, he has communicated with many exhibitors. A medical device company that makes heart stents and a company that makes synthetic antibody drugs have expressed a high willingness to cooperate.
with the help of the fair, this "pig" business is slowly unfolding.
