CHANGZHOU, China, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- On January 16, a foundation laying ceremony for the Changzhou Bio-pharmaceutical Incubator -- an innovative technological medium with international standards, with Changzhou Fangyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. as the principal developer -- was held in the Changzhou National High-Tech District, Jiangsu province. 15 enterprises under incubation were officially inducted during the event, while total investment for the project amounts to RMB520 million. The key areas of development are innovative pharmaceuticals, diagnostic reagents, medical engineering and outsourcing of pharmaceutical research and development, providing the required resources for the development of the bio-pharmaceutical industry.

Dai Yuan, Standing Committee Member of CPC, Changzhou Municipal Committee, hosted the ceremony.

Fan Yanqing said the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal government have already listed the pharmaceutical industry as one of the "top five industries" to be fostered and supported. Despite the financial crisis last year, Changzhou's bio-pharmaceutical industry continued to grow by 20%. Developing the bio-pharmaceutical incubator is significant to Changzhou's bio-pharmaceutical industry development.
