SAN DIEGO, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- HUYA Bioscience International, a leader in accelerating the global development of China’s pharmaceutical innovations, today announced a strategic collaboration agreement with China Wuqing Development Area, a state-level economic and technological development area located between Beijing and Tianjin. The collaboration will focus on promoting biomedical innovations from companies located in the Area.
HUYA is one of the first companies to have recognized China’s potential for helping to meet the global need for new preclinical and clinical stage compounds. The company is focused on speeding the development and value creation for China-sourced novel biopharmaceutical compounds in worldwide markets. HUYA has established a series of collaborations with leading universities and research institutes throughout China and has pioneered in-licensing of both preclinical and clinical stage compounds from the country.
China Wuqing Development Area is a national level economic-technological development zone and a high technology industrial park approved by China’s State Council. Situated between the downtown areas of Beijing and Tianjin, two of China’s four municipalities directly under the central government, the Area has attracted over 1400 enterprises from more than 50 countries and amassed investments totaling 120 billion RMB (19.5 billion USD). Biomedicine is a leading industry in the Area and a focus of its two new sections--the EU-Industry Park and the Jingjin Gaocun Science and Technology Innovation Park.
The alliance combines the expertise of both HUYA and China Wuqing Development Area to promote biomedical innovations originating in Wuqing with global market potential. Chinese pharmaceutical companies in the Area will be able to leverage HUYA’s international pharmaceutical knowledge and networks, and consult with HUYA’s team of experts in drug development and commercialization. HUYA will have the right of priority review to evaluate certain research and development projects of these companies and provide advice and consultation as needed. HUYA will also assist the Park in introducing business and investment opportunities.
“This is an exciting start of HUYA’s collaboration with prestigious China Wuqing Development Area to accelerate the development and globalization of innovative biomedical products from Wuqing,” said Clement Gingras, HUYA’s Chief Technology Officer and Chief Operating Officer Asia. “With both sides’ complementing strengths, this partnership will bring value to both parties as well as other organizations in the Area.”
