2020 International Medical Technology Innovation Online Forum Launches Call for Project Submissions

Over the past month, central authorities have repeatedly emphasized accelerating the development of new infrastructure to promote rapid growth in sectors such as biopharmaceuticals, medical equipment, 5G networks, and the industrial internet. “New Infrastructure” is poised to become a new engine for China’s economic growth. Growing evidence indicates that technological innovation will serve as the endogenous driving force for industrial development. The medical industry has transitioned from a stage reliant on external support to a new phase driven by “endogenous power.”

The medical device industry is one of the sectors with strong “endogenous growth momentum,”According to the China Medical Device Blue Book (2019 Edition) released by the Institute of Medical Devices, domesticThe overall market size of medical devices has grown from RMB 255.6 billion in 2014 to RMB 530.4 billion in 2018, with an average annual growth rate of approximately 20%, indicating robust growth in China's medical device market. Furthermore, driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G, the upgrading of the medical device industry is accelerating, coupled with further policy support in the future,The medical device industry will continue to thrive.

To identify high-quality medical technology projects, strengthen project promotion and publicity, facilitate the widespread adoption of technologies to drive the development of the medical industry, and expand the “endogenous power” of the medical industry,By2020 International Medical Technology Innovation Online Forum: Special Online Roadshow Segment, Hosted by the People's Government of Gaochun District, Nanjing, and Organized by the Science and Technology Bureau of Gaochun District, Nanjing, and VCBeat, with medical devices at its core, it is prioritizing the nationwide solicitation of medical technology projects across five major categories.
