Securities Times reporter Wu Jiaming
On the northern foot of Fenghuang Mountain and the confluence with Zhujiang River in Shenzhen, a new science city that carries national strategic missions is rapidly rising. As the pioneer zone for the comprehensive national scientific center in the Greater Bay Area, Guangming Science City, covering an area of 99 square kilometers, is working hard to build a world-class science city and a global industrial technology innovation center.
On July 26, as part of the agenda for the 13th China Venture Investment Conference, the "National Venture Capital Association Alliance Visits Guangming Science City" investigation activity was successfully held. Nearly 40 guests from venture capital institutions, start-up companies, and national venture capital association member units joined forces to explore Guangming, on-site visiting this technological innovation highland.
The investigation team first arrived at the Wei Light Life Science Park, a synthetic biology professional industrial park developed by Shenzhen Weilife Biotech Co., Ltd. Focusing on technology output transformation, it builds a comprehensive industry ecosystem through the construction of co-creation spaces, incubators, accelerators, and unicorn bases.
The park aims to build a global cutting-edge biotechnology platform with key areas such as synthetic biology, brain science, gene, macromolecule, and cell core technologies. It has created a unique research-economic ecosystem featuring innovation incubation and output transformation, and established the first national synthetic biology output transformation professional park.
Subsequently, the investigation team visited Shenzhen University of Technology. As a new-type research-oriented university approved by the Ministry of Education to be established in 2024, it is rapidly growing into a "dark horse" in the higher education field with its unique features of being small yet precise, high-level, and internationalized.
Finally, the investigation team visited the Guangming District City Planning Exhibition Hall to fully understand the regional development blueprint. Through immersive displays, guests deeply grasped the strategic positioning of "a world-class science city" and highly evaluated the innovative practices of Guangming District in terms of "technology + city" integration.
