The establishment of the Beijing Biological Seed Industry Innovation Consortium: the collaboration of government, industry, academia and research, co-sponsored by Higentec

On October 18, at the 29th China Beijing Seed Industry Conference, the "Beijing Biological Seed Industry Innovation Consortium" was officially launched. Fu Zhaogeng, Secretary and Director of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Wu Xiaojie, Mayor of Pinggu District People's Government, and Wang Guofeng, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Beijing Shounong Food Group, jointly launched the consortium.

 

The Beijing Biological Seed Industry Innovation Consortium is led and established by Shounong Food Group. Seed industry leading enterprises. The innovation consortium aims to serve the national and Beijing seed industry strategies, gather industry-leading technology and industrial forces, cultivate high-level scientific and technological innovation talents, carry out joint research on biological breeding, improve the transfer and transformation of innovative results in the seed industry, and build a world-leading country. It has become a high-level biological seed industry innovation center and has become a national strategic scientific and technological force in the agricultural field.

 

At the launching ceremony, Wang Guofeng, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shounong Food Group, said that the group actively responded to General Secretary Xi Jinping's important deployment of "playing the main role of enterprise innovation", implemented the three-year action plan for Beijing's seed industry, and took the initiative to take the lead.
