City 24 Hours | In the new trillion-yuan track, who has obtained the first batch of national-level "admission tickets"?
Jiangsu and Hubei are leading the way.
< p > According to the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in accordance with the "Notice on Carrying out the Cultivation of Pilot - scale Capacity Building Platforms for Biological Manufacturing" (Letter No. 234 [2025] of the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in Joint with the Department of Consumer Goods Industry), after procedures such as recommendation by provincial competent departments, expert evaluation, and public notice to the society, the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently issued the "List of Pilot - scale Capacity Building Platforms for Biological Manufacturing (the First Batch)". A total of 43 platforms were selected. < /p >
< p > The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will organize experts on an annual basis to evaluate the hardware and software levels of the platforms on the list, the quantity, quality and efficiency of the pilot - scale services they provide externally, etc., and dynamically adjust the service capacity star ratings of the platforms. Platforms that fail to meet the requirements in terms of service capacity and service effect, or have serious illegal and violating regulations situations in terms of intellectual property rights, work safety, environmental protection, quality and safety, etc., will be removed from the list. < /p >
< p > The so - called "biological manufacturing" is an emerging production technology that synthesizes or processes products through biological processes. Compared with traditional chemical or physical manufacturing methods, it has the characteristics of being green, efficient, and renewable, and has broad application prospects in fields such as medicine, food, and chemical industry. < /p >
< p > After the Government Work Report in 2025 first proposed biological manufacturing as a future industry, the suggestions for the 15th Five - Year Plan of the country also listed biological manufacturing as a new growth point that should be planned in advance. Local governments have already taken action. In the past five years, more than 20 provinces, including Shanghai, Beijing, Jiangsu, and Guangdong, have issued policies to boost the biological manufacturing industry, and multiple relevant special funds have been established one after another. < /p >
< p > Currently, the total scale of the national biological manufacturing industry has reached 1.1 trillion yuan, and the output of bio - fermentation products accounts for more than 70% of the global total. According to institutional forecasts, by 2030, the market scale of biological manufacturing in China will grow to 1.8 trillion yuan, accounting for nearly 25% of the global market scale, and China will become one of the global centers for biological manufacturing. < /p >
< p > Pilot - scale testing is a key link in the transformation of biological scientific and technological innovation achievements into industrial production. Research shows that the industrialization success rate of biological manufacturing innovation achievements after pilot - scale testing can reach 80%; while for those without pilot - scale testing, the industrialization success rate is only 30%. With the development of China's biological manufacturing industry, a large number of start - up biological manufacturing enterprises have emerged. Facing the explosive demand for pilot - scale verification, more pilot - scale platforms and bases are needed to help enterprises cross the "valley of death" between "innovation" and "industry". < /p >
< p > In June this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Notice on Carrying out the Cultivation of Pilot - scale Capacity Building Platforms for Biological Manufacturing", proposing that by 2027, strive to cultivate more than 20 pilot - scale capacity building platforms for biological manufacturing, serve more than 200 enterprises, and incubate more than 400 products. < /p >
< p > The number of pilot - scale platforms reflects to some extent the industrial transformation capabilities of different regions. From the list announced this time, 34 platforms are distributed in 25 provinces across the country. In terms of the number of selected platforms, Jiangsu and Hubei each have 4 platforms selected, ranking first. Followed by Tianjin, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Shandong, each with 3 platforms selected. < /p >

< p > Looking further at the service capabilities of the selected platforms, there are a total of five platforms that received a five - star evaluation this time, namely the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Bloomage Biotechnology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. located in Tianjin, Suzhou Womei Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Henan Achievement Transformation Biotechnology Co., Ltd. located in Jiangsu, and Chutian Technology Co., Ltd. located in Hunan. < /p >
< p > Facing the 15th Five - Year Plan period, this is considered a critical development period for China's biological manufacturing industry. It is reported that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will compile and release the development plan for biological manufacturing during the 15th Five - Year Plan period, and clearly stated that in the next step, it is necessary to strengthen scientific and technological research and development and innovation breakthroughs, promote the coordinated development of industry, academia, research, application, and finance, consolidate the industrial foundation, and expand application products. < /p >
