"This CIIE is an excellent opportunity
for Merck to announce a new global trend in biointegration.
The topic of biofusion is not something that can be answered by a single company or a single country independently, biofusion is not magic, and Merck is not a magician

For it to become a reality, action must begin now

He said that with the "spillover effect" of the Expo, Merck this year focused on the new trend of "biointegration" and shared revolutionary benefits and insights, which is highly consistent with
the key development tasks proposed in China's "14th Five-Year Plan" for bioeconomic development.
