Tonglu to pilot China's healthcare innovation

Tonglu, a county in Zhejiang province's capital city of Hangzhou, is going to build the first national pilot zone for life sciences and the healthcare industry in the Yangtze River Delta.

"The development of the pilot zone will be supervised by the government, but will rely on market entities and the cooperation of researchers, companies, and capital forces," Fang Yi, Party chief of Tonglu, said in a media conference held in Beijing last week.

The pilot project in the China (Tonglu, Hangzhou) International Pilot Zone of Life Sciences and the Healthcare Industry will become a breeding place for new technologies, new products, and new applications in life sciences and the healthcare industry, the official said.
