After careful preparation, the Biological Manufacturing Industry (Talent) Alliance was established on November 7. Based in Tianjin and facing the whole country, the Alliance is composed of more than one hundred enterprises, colleges and universities, and scientific research institutes related to the biological manufacturing industry in China. Taking Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of Chinese Academy of Sciences as the chairman organization, the Alliance has five specialized chain-like sub-alliances in the fields of biochemical, biomaterial, biomedicine, food and nutrition, and bio-agriculture, and has 123 members. Relying on the scientific and technological support of the National Synthetic Biotechnology Innovation Center, it will give full play to the driving effects of leading enterprises, jointly establish a platform for interaction, exchanges, communication and cooperation in the biological manufacturing industry, and promote the linking of supply and demand, resource sharing and commercialization of research findings. The Alliance will make special effort to build a green channel for talent introduction, service, and training in the biological manufacturing field, explore market application scenarios to achieve industrial clustering, strengthen cross-border collaboration with countries along the "Belt and Road", and form an international demonstration of emerging industry development supported and led by scientific and technological innovation.

　　On the very day of the establishment of the Alliance, a agreement signing ceremony for key biological manufacturing projects was also held. Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone Administrative Committee, Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fosun Pharmaceutical, Ringpu Biology, Biogrowing, Beihe Technology, Haijing Group, Fuyang Biology and other organizations signed agreements on 12 key projects with a total investment value of more than RMB 5 billion. In the next step, the Alliance will fully arouse the enthusiasm of all elements, accelerate the creation of an ecology of biological manufacturing technological innovation and industrial chains, promote industrial gathering, and build an international highland of biological manufacturing industry.
