On September 30, Siheung City announced that it had participated in the 6th SNU BIO-DAY held on September 29 at the Seoul National University Hoam Faculty House, presenting the foundations of its bio industry, as well as the vision and development strategy for the National Advanced Strategic Industry Bio-Specialized Complex.


This event, organized by the Seoul National University Research Institute of Biotechnology, is a bio-convergence event in which faculty, researchers, graduate students, and representatives from hospitals, companies, investment institutions, and startups share their research achievements and discuss pathways for technology commercialization, entrepreneurship, and industry-academic-hospital collaboration. This year’s program included keynote speeches, special lectures on bio innovation and entrepreneurship, research achievement exhibitions, company promotional booths, and networking opportunities.


The city highlighted the research, clinical, talent development, and business infrastructure of its bio cluster, which is centered around the SNU Siheung Campus and collaborates with Siheung Baegot Seoul National University Hospital, Chong Kun Dang Pharmaceutical, Korea Testing & Research Institute (KTR), and the Gyeonggi Siheung SNU Pharmaceutical and Bio Talent Development Center.


In addition, the city met with SNU researchers, bio company representatives, and investment institutions to discuss potential joint research, technology transfer, commercialization, and investment partnerships. Siheung City also worked to expand its collaborative network by engaging with researchers, students, and other stakeholders in the bio sector to vitalize the specialized complex.



Ham Eun-jung, director of future strategy for Siheung City, said, "It was an opportunity to raise awareness of Siheung’s bio industry infrastructure and growth potential among Seoul National University’s renowned researchers and a variety of stakeholders including bio companies and investment institutions. We will further expand our cooperation with companies and research institutions to build a virtuous cycle for bio innovation that integrates research, clinical practice, and talent development, and develop the specialized complex without delay."
