"The 'Life Foundry' can greatly speed up the design and synthesis of artificial life, and is a very important infrastructure for synthetic biology research, which can achieve digital twin-level data collection and application in the future." Yuan Hai introduced.

Synthetic biology is one of the key future industries in Shenzhen. In recent years, Shenzhen has comprehensively coordinated the Institute of Synthetic Biology of Shenzhen Advanced Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences,

the College of Synthetic Biology of Shenzhen University of Technology and the Shenzhen Institute of Synthetic Biology Innovation, and deeply practiced the "four-chain" collaborative model in the field of synthetic biology industry in Bright Science City. To promote Shenzhen's synthetic biology research and synthetic biology industry in the forefront of the country and among the world's first-class.

Specifically, around synthetic biology, the Science City has planned large science installations, science and education integration laboratories, research-oriented universities, industrial innovation conditions platforms,

and industrial transformation acceleration platforms in the spatial layout to promote the integrated development of applied basic research in synthetic biology and biomedical science and industrial innovation.

In the next step, Big science installations will continue to attract global innovation elements to Shenzhen. Yuan Hai said that the synthetic biology facility will create a synthetic biology research platform for users "cloud LABS" and operators "intelligent LABS",

which is open to academia, industry and even the world. In the future, it will attract the global concentration of synthetic biological resources, become the world's leading intelligent life system design and manufacturing platform, and provide strong support for the national synthetic biology research.

The future industry is driven by breakthrough and disruptive cutting-edge technologies, and its digitalization, informatization and high-end manufacturing trends are prominent.

What is more important in this process is to construct an industrial innovation ecology from technology policy source and achievement transformation to industry cultivation and organizational innovation.

It is necessary to rely on the original basic research end to cultivate a steady stream of new technologies and new achievements, lead the industry forward, and "lift" the industrial chain by the innovation chain.

The research found that in the future industrial layout development, Bright Science City has played an important role in the cultivation of future industrial application basic research and cutting-edge cross-research in Guangdong,

and has played an important role in driving and demonstrating significance. As the pilot area of the Comprehensive National Science Center in the Greater Bay Area, Bright Science City concentrates on 24 major scientific and technological innovation carriers,

taking major scientific and technological projects and major projects as the starting point, and accumulating more and more new quality productivity for the future industrial cultivation of Guangdong.

"The large facility will promote the development and upgrading of the synthetic biology industry, and many well-known companies have already made clear their intention to use it." Yuan Hai introduced that the synthetic biology research University scientific device was completed and put into trial operation,

and a synthetic biology industry fund of 1.5 billion yuan was synchronously supported, which greatly shortened the time cycle from original innovation to industrial transformation. In the past three years,

one out of every two synthetic biology companies in the country has settled in Guangdong. 40% of the new synthetic biological enterprises in the country are concentrated in Shenzhen.

Wei Qijia believes that from the perspective of the operation mode of Science City, the responsibilities of all aspects of Bright Science City are very clear. "It is concentrated for the government to build a nest and attract phoenix,

build a platform, guide high-quality resources to converge on the platform, and combine and configure various high-quality elements according to the law of the market and the law of scientific and technological innovation." Wei Qijia said.

Guangdong model of transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements

The Shenzhen Engineering biological Industry Innovation Center where Zhong Chao is located implements the "upstairs and downstairs innovation and entrepreneurship complex" model,

which is a new model explored by Bright Science City in recent years to serve the industry with scientific research, feed scientific research with industry, and realize research, output and application.

Luo Wei, director of the Industrial Innovation and Transformation Center of the Institute of Synthetic Biology, said that here, "upstairs" researchers carry out original innovation,

support the industry to carry out key core technology research, "downstairs" incubator enterprises gather, carry out engineering technology development and pilot transformation of original innovation, promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements along the way, and then realize industrialization.
