According to Beijing Yizhuang WeChat official account, on the afternoon of December 19, Beijing Mayor Yin Yong met with AstraZeneca's global CEO Soriot via video. Yin Yong said that the Chinese market has huge scale and development space, and it is still very attractive to companies from all countries. Beijing has rich medical science and education and clinical resources, strong demand in the medical and health market, and a booming pharmaceutical industry. In recent years, we have taken the pharmaceutical and health industry as an important direction for the development of high-end industries, accelerated the construction of high-level research hospitals, vigorously developed innovative drugs and medical devices, carried out pilot reforms in the field of medicine and health, and committed to building an ecological system for the entire industry chain, forming a spatial pattern of coordinated pharmaceutical and health industry development in the north and south. It is hoped that AstraZeneca will make full use of Beijing's advantages in basic medical research and industrial development, expand its R&D and industrial layout in Beijing, strengthen R&D cooperation with local universities, scientific research institutions, enterprises and other innovative entities, promote the implementation and transformation of more scientific and technological achievements in Beijing, and achieve a higher level of mutual benefit and win-win results.
