Launch of the 'Future Healthcare 100: Innovative Industrial Clusters 2020' Initiative to Identify Outstanding Chinese Medical Innovation Parks
China’s industrial clusters are in a period of rapid development, with innovative models continually emerging and new players entering the field. As the number of participants grows and the agglomeration effect of leading clusters intensifies, competition among regional industrial clusters will continue to escalate, accelerating the reshuffling of the existing landscape.
While leading industrial parks such as Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park and Zhongguancun Science Park have already achieved a clustering effect, we have observed the gradual emergence of a cohort of medical industrial parks with significant development and investment potential. These parks are driven by innovation and demonstrate notable strengths in industrial positioning, product development, technological advancement, business models, distribution channels, branding, service delivery, policy frameworks, and financial mechanisms.
By soliciting and surveying these industrial parks—whether small yet exquisite or uniquely distinctive—we aim to focus our lens and comprehensively decode the landscape of medical innovation clusters, explore effective development pathways for such clusters, and identify exemplary models, thereby providing decision-making support for local governments in investment promotion, investment institutions in capital allocation, and enterprises in site selection.
Based on this, the 2020 Future Healthcare Top 100 list has specially added the Future Healthcare Top 100 · Innovative Industry Cluster List. This list's research will cover more than 100 innovative medical industry clusters (parks), which isThe First Ranking in China Targeting Innovative Medical Industry Clusters to Explore Their Development and Investment Potential。
I. Scope of Solicitation
Focusing on Three Major Sectors
Call for Innovative Industrial Parks
The medical innovation-driven industries mentioned in this ranking are high-tech sectors built upon three major technology clusters—biotechnology, new materials and intelligent manufacturing, and digital technologies—with the aim of disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, primarily involvingBiopharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Digital HealthThree Domains.
It is also one of the pillar industries or key specialty industries prioritized for development in its region, with the potential to cultivate several industrial clusters reaching the trillion-yuan scale and a number of clusters achieving the hundred-billion-yuan scale.
In addition, there are innovative industrial parks that excel in building industrial technology systems, enhancing scientific and technological innovation capabilities, developing industrial chains, exploring innovative service models, cultivating niche sectors, and establishing financial systems.
