张林山：打造生物制造新增长引擎

Core Insights - The 20th Central Committee's Fourth Plenary Session has approved a proposal emphasizing the importance of future industries, particularly highlighting biomanufacturing as a key driver for economic transformation and high-quality development in China [1] Industry Overview - Biomanufacturing is defined as an advanced production method utilizing biological entities (such as microorganisms, cells, enzymes) to produce materials and provide services, characterized by disruptive technology and green low-carbon attributes [1] - The industry is penetrating critical sectors such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, materials, energy, agriculture, and environmental protection, playing a vital role in ensuring food security, energy security, and achieving green low-carbon development [1] Global Comparison - Developed countries have elevated biomanufacturing to a national strategic level, with the U.S. leading in synthetic biology and gene editing, while the EU focuses on the green and circular aspects of biomanufacturing as part of the "European Green Deal" [2] - In contrast, China's biomanufacturing industry is marked by national strategic guidance, large-scale market applications, and collaborative advancement across the entire value chain, leveraging its complete industrial system and supply chain [2] Challenges and Gaps - China still faces gaps in core technologies, original capabilities, and competitiveness in high-value products, particularly in high-end industrial enzymes, core biological design software, and key equipment manufacturing [3] Strategic Recommendations - A clearer long-term national biomanufacturing development plan should be established, prioritizing technology directions and key product catalogs, while enhancing support for foundational technologies [3] - Encouragement of deep integration of "industry, academia, research, application, and finance" to form collaborative innovation ecosystems is essential [3] Investment and Infrastructure - The government should increase R&D investment while guiding social capital, especially long-term capital, into the biomanufacturing sector, including the establishment of a national biomanufacturing industry investment fund [4] - Strengthening interdisciplinary talent cultivation and building major technological infrastructures, data repositories, and strain banks are crucial for supporting industry innovation [4]
