Heavenly Creations, Link Innovation: The Inaugural Future Healthcare Technology Transfer and Collaboration Conference Makes a Grand Debut!

Innovation is the primary driving force behind development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has vigorously advanced the strategies for rejuvenating the country through science and education, strengthening the nation with talent, and innovation-driven development, achieving significant results. As the gap between domestic and international standards narrows, a wave of innovation globalization is quietly unfolding.

Scientific Research: Striving with Vigor, with original discoveries emerging in a steady stream, gradually reshaping the global landscape of life sciences.Industrial Sector: Accumulating Strength for a Breakthrough, evolving from follower innovation and substitute innovation toward original innovation and global innovation.Capital is advancing at full speed,Industrial investment stages are shifting earlier, with the pace of investment moving from following overseas trends to uncovering local innovations, and the investment focus expanding from the Chinese market to a global perspective, with an emphasis on originalInnovative AchievementsThe investment boom has quietly emerged.

On one hand, an increasing number of universities and clinical institutions are establishing dedicated technology transfer centers, driving the professionalization and marketization of achievement commercialization. On the other hand, outcomes from collaborative initiatives reveal persistent challenges in the translation process, including insufficient awareness of commercialization, a shortage of specialized talent, and inadequate resources for industrial-scale translation. How can we better identify clinical pain points to bolster the development of China’s scientific research achievements? How can we facilitate rapid alignment among capital, enterprises, and universities to accelerate the practical application of translated achievements? Against this backdrop,Future Healthcare Achievement Transformation and Cooperation Conference(hereinafter referred to as:VB-LinkConference) emerged as the trend demanded.

What isLink？LinkAimed at connecting.VB-LinkAim to build key links in the translation ecosystem connecting universities with market demands, hospitals with solutions, and enterprises with capital; provide professional support to both supply and demand sides of achievement commercialization; facilitate industrial translation, promote the implementation of outcomes, and foster in-depth collaboration.

VB-LinkThe conference was organized byVB100, VCBeatInitiated with the aim of creating China’s first ecosystem brand conference for technology transfer, driven by market demand and focused on sharing cutting-edge insights, showcasing achievements, and facilitating matchmaking and collaboration.

The inaugural conference was organized byBeijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission、Tianjin Municipal Development and Reform Commission、Tianjin Municipal Drug Administration、National Engineering Research Center for Personalized Diagnosis and Treatment Technologies、China Association of Medical Device Industry、Wu Jieping Medical FoundationGuidance, byVB100、VCBeat、Zhongguancun Development Group、Tianjin Binhai—Administrative Committee of Zhongguancun Science ParkHosted by,Furong Laboratory、Central South University Intellectual Property Center、Peking University Shougang Hospital, Southeast University Suzhou Medical Device Research Institute、ITMNS、Shanghai Xuhui Ceyuan Health Intelligence Technology Achievement Transformation and Development Centerco-organized, and received28 Leading Institutions, Including Top-Tier Capital Firms, Enterprises, and Innovation Centersstrong support。The conference will be held on6Month28Sun Day6Month29to be held at the InterContinental Tianjin Yujiapu Hotel, bringing together leading scientists, investors, entrepreneurs, and technology transfer professionals across the translation continuum to discuss innovation in translational research and foster deep collaborative partnerships.

An era of transformation demands unconventional thinking, and even more so, diligent practice following such reflection.VB-LinkThe competition isChina’s First Early-Stage Innovation Solutions Competition for Medical Specialties, aiming to center on specialized disciplines as the core thread to identify and nurture early-stage innovative clinical solutions that truly address clinical pain points, thereby accelerating the translation of innovative achievements. The inaugural competition focused on four specialties—cardiovascular medicine, neurology, ophthalmology, and oncology—and comprised five stages: event launch, project solicitation, online preliminary rounds, city-level semi-finals, and the national grand finals. Specialty-specific city competitions were held in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. At the grand finals venue24Specialty-Specific Innovative Solutions to Be Showcased, promoting the translation and application of innovative specialty-specific solutions.

AsChina’s First White Paper Focusing on the Pain Points and Needs of Hospitals, the report will deeply analyze frontline physicians’ demands for innovative products from the perspective of clinical needs, by investigating the development stages and clinical pain points across multiple departments. It aims to provide directional guidance for specialty-specific innovation translation, truly driving more participants in the translation ecosystem to focus on unmet clinical needs.

VB-LinkThe award is presented byVB100, VCBeat, and the first domestic An award system focused on the key forces driving achievement transformation, designed to select translational innovators who truly represent the future of healthcare. The awards are divided into three major categories: institutions, projects, and individuals, totaling12sub-categories of awards, which are solicited through self-nomination and institutional recommendations. A multi-dimensional and differentiated evaluation is conducted based on the breakthrough nature of R&D in medical scientific and technological achievements, the efficiency of their translation and commercialization, and the comprehensive empowerment capability of these achievements. The final selection is made byVB-LinkAwards Jury Passes Preliminary Review-Review-Generated through a published selection process.

Focusing on innovative achievements, with a key showcase of outcomes from universities, hospitals, enterprises, and enabling ecosystem institutions, to createVB-LinkConference Outcomes: A Venue for Supply-Demand Exchange and Matchmaking。

VB-LinkThe conference brings together trend information across various dimensions, including policy, technology, research, and commercialization.
