To promote the precise connection between university scientific and technological innovation achievements and the needs of the medical device industry, and to accelerate the integration of industry, academia, research, and application, recently, Wu Bin, Vice General Manager of Shanghai Huan Shangda Technology Development Co., Ltd., and Ni Jing, also a Vice General Manager, led an incubation team to visit Medtronic, a global leader in medical technology. Fang Geng, Senior Principal Scientist of Medtronic's R&D Center, warmly received them. Through exhibition hall tours and seminars, both parties exchanged views on innovation origins, technology transfer, industrial applications, and other topics.
At the beginning of the exchange, under the leadership of Dr. Geng Fang, the team from the Huanshangda Science Park visited the Medtronic exhibition hall. Through vivid graphic displays, explanations of physical exhibits, and interactive demonstrations, they systematically learned about Medtronic's development history in the Chinese market, its globally leading medical technology layout, and its fruitful achievements in the field of localized innovation. From precision interventional therapy devices to intelligent healthcare solutions, from cutting-edge technology R&D breakthroughs to clinical application case studies, Medtronic showcased its comprehensive innovative capabilities and humanistic healthcare philosophy.
During the discussion session,Wu BinThe platform's resource advantages and development positioning were introduced in detail. As an innovation transformation platform centered around Shanghai University and radiating to universities worldwide, the park not only integrates high-quality research resources from fields such as materials science, biomedical engineering, and information communication at Shanghai University but also links innovative achievements from top global universities through in-depth cooperation with units like the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission and the Science and Technology Development Center of Shanghai Universities. This collaboration has formed a multi-disciplinary, full-chain technology transformation service system. Additionally, brand activities that the park is deeply involved in, such as the "Baoshan Cup" Innovation Competition, have become important platforms for uncovering high-quality projects and promoting university-enterprise collaboration.
Ni JingRepresenting the large technology park on the Ring, it fully empowers early-stage technology innovation enterprises by providing comprehensive "nanny-style" services to address various concerns of startup teams, except for technology R&D. In the process of achievement transformation, the Science Park establishes the "Ring-on-Large Model," which includes forward-looking incubation, partnership-based transformation, and business acceleration. He emphasized the demand-oriented role of large enterprises' open innovation in project concept verification and technical achievement transformation. The large technology park on the Ring is committed to bridging the gap between universities and the industry by building platforms for exchange and cooperation, promoting interaction among academia, industry, and the government, aligning with market demands, and facilitating the efficient transformation of scientific achievements.
Fang GengDr. [Name] expressed high recognition of the resource integration capabilities of the Global Campus, and shared a vivid case of Medtronic's Shanghai R&D Center based in China, serving patients and healthcare providers globally. As an industry benchmark deeply rooted in the medical device field, Medtronic has continuously increased its investment in innovative technology R&D in recent years. She stated that universities are important sources of innovative technologies, and Medtronic always values cooperation with universities, actively exploring ways to integrate more new university technologies into product innovation. At the same time, Medtronic hopes to leverage academic research to overcome technical difficulties in product development, promoting the industrialization of innovative achievements in China’s medical device sector.
The two parties engaged in enthusiastic discussions around the cooperation model, establishing a three-step cooperative vision: "initial exchange visits, mid-term targeted对接, and long-term joint攻关." This negotiation has built a solid合作bridge between the环上大科技园and Medtronic, marking a crucial step in collaborative innovation between industry, academia, and research. In the future, guided by需求and connected through项目, both parties will fully leverage their respective strengths to carry out deeper cooperation in technology研发, talent培养, and成果transformation, jointly promoting innovative breakthroughs in the medical technology field and contributing to enhancing the core competitiveness of China's medical device industry.
