Mr.
Zhou Mintao, President of Cytiva China, said: "In the booming Chinese biopharmaceutical industry, localization is the only way for
every international company.
The fully upgraded Cytiva China Science and Technology Innovation Center shows that as a technological innovation-driven enterprise, we can achieve China's 'new' based on China and serve China strategy by enhancing the Chinese 'core'
of R&D and innovation.
" Only by truly thinking with a Chinese mind and feeling the needs of the times and industry development with a Chinese heart can we truly benefit the local market
.
"

Promote comprehensive localization with China's science and technology innovation center and accelerate the innovation and development of the entire local biopharmaceutical industry chain

In 2006, Cytiva introduced Fast Trak bioprocess development and talent training business to China for the first time, and has trained nearly 10,000 professionals so far, helping more than ten projects to complete pharmaceutical research and enter clinical application and clinical phase I, known as the "Whampoa Military Academy"
in the biomedical industry 。 In order to meet the growing local demand for biopharmaceutical development, Cytiva decided to increase its capital by 60 million yuan on the basis of the Shanghai Bioprocessing Center to upgrade its R&D and innovation capabilities in China and build a new China Science and Technology Innovation Center to provide all-round support
for accelerating industrial innovation and high-quality development.

Located in Zhangjiang, Shanghai, Cytiva China Science and Technology Innovation Center has a construction area of about 11,000 square meters and will aggregate 7 functional divisions:

• Cytiva's expanded Fast Trak service, Asia's largest biopharmaceutical talent training base, can provide the industry with 2,000 biotechnology professional training sessions per year, covering the whole process training needs from early R&D to clinical declaration, as well as large-scale commercial production, and can provide customized talent pool plans
  to biopharmaceutical companies.
  
• Cytiva's world's first novel therapy incubator – accelerates the development and commercialization of new therapies in cell therapy, gene therapy, mRNA drugs and other fields
  through flexible collaboration such as small-scale proof of concept and pilot scale-up confirmation.

• Cytiva's Asia's first single-use technology R&D center of excellence – conducts sample preparation of single-use bioprocessing consumables, and provides services
  such as new product development testing and validation, customized product interactive training with customers, product maintenance and customer complaint investigation.
  By breaking down the barriers between product technology and industrialization, the pain points
  in the design of localized new products are solved.
  
• Cytiva's first bio-intelligent manufacturing display platform in Asia will fully demonstrate Cytiva's intelligent manufacturing solutions for Industry 4.
  0 from modern R&D and production equipment to automation and digital control platforms, and will also display solutions for the continuous manufacturing of antibody drugs, covering the whole process
  from cell culture initiation to drug stock solution generation.
  
• Cytiva Custom Bioprocessing Solution Center - Based on local needs, integrating global technical knowledge in the design and manufacture of bioprocessing downstream purification equipment, tailor-made chromatography system, filtration system, online dosing, continuous process and other equipment for Chinese customers, has delivered hundreds of sets of products, widely used in the production of
  monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, insulin, nucleic acid drugs, peptide drugs.
  
• Cytiva Regulatory Verification Laboratory - The platform is one of the five major Cytiva verification service laboratories in the world, and is also the company's first professional laboratory to provide filtration process verification services in China, which has completed the filtration process verification of about 2,000 drugs and helped customers pass
  。
