Let's also take stock of the key words of the biomedical industry in the fourteenth five-year period (2021-2025), as well as the outlook for the long-term goal of 2035.

1. Key words of the biomedical industry in the fourteenth five-year period (2021-2025)

(1) Development positioning-strategic emerging industries

Strategic emerging industries are an important force to guide future economic and social development. Accelerating the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries is a major measure for my country to promote the upgrading of industrial structure and accelerate the transformation of economic development mode, the fourteenth five-year period (2021-2025) The plan focuses on seizing opportunities for future industrial development, cultivating leading and pillar industries, and promoting the integration, clustering, and ecological development of strategic emerging industries. The added value of strategic emerging industries accounts for more than 17% of GDP.

(2) Adhere to innovation-driven-optimize top-level design, strengthen national strategic scientific and technological strength

The second part of the National Planning Outline adheres to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of my country’s modernization drive, takes scientific and technological self-reliance as a strategic support for national development, faces the frontiers of world science and technology, faces the main economic battlefield, faces major national needs, and faces people’s lives and health , In-depth implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the strategy of innovation-driven development, improving the national innovation system, accelerating the construction of a strong country with science and technology, integrating and optimizing the allocation of scientific and technological resources, and promoting the optimization of the innovation system based on the strategic needs of the country, and speeding up the construction of a national experiment The room is a leading strategic technological force. Focus on quantum information, photonics and micro-nano electronics, network communications, artificial intelligence, biomedicine, modern energy systems and other major innovation fields to establish a number of national laboratories, reorganize the state key laboratories, and form a laboratory system with a reasonable structure and efficient operation.

(3) Key development directions

The fourteenth five-year (2021-2025) plan is to form and expand the capacity of the entire industry chain from scientific research to finished medicine in the field of biomedical industry innovation, and strengthen the in-depth R&D and generalization of technologies such as gene therapy, cell therapy, and immunotherapy化 Application.

2. Prospects for long-term goals in 2035

Looking forward to 2035, my country will basically realize socialist modernization. Economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and overall national strength will rise sharply, the total economic output and the per capita income of urban and rural residents will reach a new level, the key core technology will achieve major breakthroughs, and it will enter the forefront of innovative countries. Basically realize new industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization, and establish a modern economic system. Build a country strong in culture, education, talent, sports, and healthy China. The quality of the people and the level of social civilization will reach new heights. The author hopes that by 2035, China will become the world's biomedical industry innovation highland and an important gathering place for high-end talents in the biomedical industry to innovate and start businesses.
