The Scientific and Capital Innovation Summit and Conference on the Launch of the R&D Cooperation and Innovation Platform were held in Tianjin. Over 200 participants discussed new investment opportunities in the health industry from different perspectives, while the summit also witnessed the establishment of a new platform for cross-industrial cooperation. At the forum, Tasly declared that it will unite with Bioclub to build an innovation platform.

Capital-driven innovation

"The golden era for investing in one health industry has come," said Yan Kaijing at the opening paragraph of his report. Only when innovation is combined with capital and a new service mechanism, can it be fully brought into play.

According to Yan, Tasly will build a consumer- centered, one-stop health ecosystem that will provide innovative health products and services. Tasly has developed six core businesses: modern biomedicine, traditional Chinese medicine, healthcare, medical rehabilitation and health management, children's education and health management, and international business. Tasly has further expanded its businesses through mergers and acquisitions, striving to develop biotechnology and information technology that propels the development of the health industry, including e-commerce in pharmaceuticals and genetic testing.

As stated by Yan, it took Tasly seven years to build an investment platform. Aiming to develop its existing businesses, Tasly's current focus is to allocate resources efficiently and maximize project value.

"We hope to enhance understanding of intersecting fields by establishing a platform for exchange of ideas among experts," said Yan. Talsy aims to work with third parties, drawing on its capacity and resources to conceive and develop projects to increase the odds of success.

Yan added that Tasly will create an asset portfolio by making use of capital, fostering effective business models and leveraging diversified tools in the capital market. By doing this, it will consolidate resource integration in the industrial ecosystem.
