2020年3月1日,睿智医药集团宣布成立量子高科(香港)生物有限公司(简称量子香港)。这是睿智医药集团继2017年投资一个亿进军微生态医疗事业,2018年成功收购CRO龙头企业上海睿智、重组成功之后,又一具有战略意义的重大事件,是睿智医药集团微生态事业国际化战略全面展开的启程之篇。就此,我们特意邀请量子香港的副总经理陈颖骠先生展开专访。
量子高科(香港)生物有限公司副总经理陈颖骠先生专访
1. 2020年,是睿智医药集团迈入20周年、多产业并举全速发展的重要时刻,我们认为量子香港的成立具有重要的战略意义,您能为我们介绍一下量子香港的战略定位和规划吗?
量子香港,是睿智医药集团在微生态健康领域全球化战略布局的重要举措,而这个国际化不仅仅是指市场的国际化,它更加包含了:供应链的国际化、品牌的国际化、研究与技术的国际化、合作的国际化、乃至人才的国际化等等方面;量子香港将作为睿智医药集团国际化战略的重要平台,同时肩负着“走出去“与“引进来”的任务,将通过资源的输出、引进、整合等,并打造起国际化背景之下微生态产业的完整生态圈,实现成为全球微生态健康领域领军企业的愿景。
量子香港所背靠的睿智医药集团,拥有长达20年之久的微生态科研背景,更是国内益生元上市公司“第一股”,伴随集团近年重组成功,借助旗下CRO龙头上海睿智成熟的全球医药研发服务体系,我们在生命科学和微生态健康上拥有了更多的资源、机遇与可能性。无疑,量子香港的成立,同时也是睿智医药集团在微生态健康领域全球化通盘布局里极其重要的一步。
我认为量子香港的成立极具远见、富有全局性意义。
2. 我们知道量子香港的前身是量子高科国际业务部,长期深耕海外业务、成绩不俗,深得全球客户信赖,那么在未来,即将承担起更多责任与使命的量子香港,在业务功能、业务板块方面又是如何部署的,有哪些全新的思路呢,您能为我们做一下介绍吗?
我们的前身,量子高科的国际业务从2013年起步,那么在未来,量子香港除承载原有的这部分微生态健康产品的进出口业务以外,更将承担起拓宽全球战略视野、组建国内外微生态健康行业资源、信息和技术的交流平台的职能,以开放性的思维在微生态健康领域与全球合作伙伴共建灵活、多元的合作模式。相信通过香港主体的设立,我们国外的合作伙伴可以更清楚的认知公司对于开拓微生态国际市场的决心。
3. 长期以来,在海外业务板块我们已经拥有了非常深厚的积累与基础,那么随着量子香港的成立必将发挥更大的效能,非常期待您为我们介绍一下量子香港在业务领域的优势。
在国际市场上如我们般专注微生态行业的企业并不多见,掌握益生元生产的菌种选育、酶工程、工艺开发,分析检测、免疫干预评价等全产业链核心技术的企业更是凤毛麟角。比如在技术层面,我们自主研发的固定化酶技术体系就是全球独一无二的,它在环境友好方面的杰出表现深得全球合作伙伴的认可;又比如,长期以来在中国母婴、中国人肠菌特点等领域我们都做了很多扎实的工作,建立起大数据库并开展多项研究,而这些都是国外众多合作伙伴所看重的。
另外,量子高科具有深厚的品牌积淀,这是非常重要和稳固的基础。而且,时至今日我们已经有长达7年的海外合作业务经验,拥有覆盖全球的完整销售网络,对于国外商业模式和文化有较深的理解。量子香港的业务人员都有丰富的国外工作、生活经验,而我本人作为华侨,并在国内生活了8年,也认为自己是一个能理解双方需求以及表达方式的人。希望这一点,能在交流中达到减少误会,增进信任感的效果。
4. 来自经济周期与近期疫情的影响,对于很多中国企业来说目前正是寒冬,而量子香港的成立展示出睿智医药集团对海外市场充满信心、长期看好,能请您就益生元在海外市场的前景为我们进行解读吗?
对于这个问题,首先我们对于这场给全球带来巨大影响的疫情表示遗憾,同时我们认为无论是来自经济周期还是来自疫情的影响,中国经济长期向好的基本面是不会改变的,作为中资企业,我们充满信心。
那么,回到全球市场,集团国际化战略的实施,正是基于对全球微生态健康产业前景的十足信心。站在产品与贸易角度而言,益生元市场持续向好,Global Market Insights的数据显示,从2015年到2023年期间,全球益生元的市场规模年复合增长率高达 11.6%,同时来自全球对于糖尿病、肥胖症等慢性病担忧日益加剧,叠加对健康饮食的重视度提升,催生了益生元的广泛需求,在营养品、保健品以及婴儿奶粉和婴儿食品之外,我们见到益生元成为越来越多普通食品的营养基础;另一方面,微生态研究作为当今生命科学最热门的研究领域之一,其前景之广阔受到学界、业界的一致公认,那么依托于集团的生物医药研发背景,与全球伙伴在该领域展开更多合作,我们充满期待。最后,关于疫情,作为一个突发事件它让全球公众都更清楚的认识到微生态健康对人体免疫力的价值,这些都给了我们更大动力。
5.毫无疑问,量子香港作为睿智医药集团微生态国际化战略部署的桥头堡,它的成立与发展必将为集团整体带来巨大的价值与效应,跟我们谈谈您的预期好吗?
在全球范围内看,微生态的市场总量以国外为主,蛋糕在海外。而今天的我们,已经在微生态领域积淀了较好的基础,具有了领先的核心技术,我们有信心也有决心要让国外更多看到中国微生态龙头的能量。
量子香港最高领导是公司委员会,其中包括了集团董事长、集团总裁以及微生态营养事业部的总经理,这个委员会集合了国际视野、市场经验还有链接资本的特质。未来,在总经理的引导下,我们将借助整合供应链,结合自身创新优势,力求为集团整体带来持续性的盈利能力增长、提升国际竞争力,实现品牌国际化的价值提升,乃至使中国企业在国际微生态领域获得更大的话语权。在长期,稳固睿智医药集团旗下量子高科品牌作为全球微生态健康产业领导者的地位。
6. 如果请您以一句话概括您对量子香港前景的期许,您会用哪句话?非常感谢!
量子香港将成为一个开放式的平台,将打造“全球微生态健康产业生态圈”,给员工、顾客和股东们信心和支持,实现“让千家万户拥有微生态健康和幸福”的使命。
The internationalization strategy of Quantumn Bio Group’s micro-ecology business has set sail in an all-round way
Interview with Mr. Chen Yingpiao, Deputy General Manager of Quantum Hi-Tech (HK) Biological co., Ltd.
On the 1st of March, 2020, Quantum Bio Group announced the establishment of Quantum Hi-Tech (HK) Biological Co., Ltd, referred to as Quantum (HK). This is another major event of strategic significance for Quantum Bio Group after investing 100 million Yuan in 2017 to enter the microecological medical business and successfully restructuring CRO's leading enterprise ChemPartner in 2018 to start the journey. In this regard, we specially invited Mr. Chen Yingpiao, the Deputy General Manager of Quantum (HK) to conduct an exclusive interview.
1. 2020 is an important moment for Quantum Bio Group's 20th anniversary and multi-industry development at full speed. We believe the establishment of Quantum (HK) is of great strategic significance. Can you tell us about the strategic positioning and planning of Quantum (HK)?
Quantum (HK) is an important measure of Quantum Bio Group's global strategic layout in the field of micro-ecological health. This internationalization not only refers to the internationalization of the market, it also includes: internationalization of the supply chain, internationalization of brands, Internationalization of research and technology, internationalization of cooperation, and internationalization of talents, etc .; Quantum (HK) will serve as an important platform for the internationalization strategy of Quantum Bio Group. At the same time, it will shoulder the tasks of "going out" and "introducing". Through the export, introduction, and integration of resources, and building a complete ecosystem of the micro-ecological industry under the background of internationalization, the vision of becoming a leader in the global micro-ecological health field is realized.
2. We know that Quantum (HK)'s predecessor is Quantum Hi-Tech International Business Department. It has long been engaged in overseas business and has achieved good results. It has won the trust of global customers. In the future, Quantum (HK) will soon assume more responsibility and mission. How is the business sector deployed? Are there any new ideas? Could you please introduce?
Our predecessor, Quantum Hi-Tech's international business started in 2013, then in the future, in addition to the import and export business of Quantumn (HK), which will carry this part of the original micro-ecological health products, we will also undertake to broaden the global strategic horizon and establish domestic and foreign micro-economy. The function of the platform for the exchange of resources, information and technology in the ecological health industry, with an open mind, to build a flexible and diverse cooperation model with global partners in the field of micro-ecological health. I believe that through the establishment of a Hong Kong entity, our foreign partners can more clearly recognize the company's determination to open up the micro-ecological international market.
3. For a long time, we have a very deep accumulation and foundation in the overseas business sector, so with the establishment of Quantum (HK), it will play a greater role. We are looking forward to your introduction of the advantages of Quantum (HK) in the business field.
In the international market, companies like us that focus on the micro-ecological industry are rare. Companies that master the core technology of the entire industry chain, such as strain selection, enzyme engineering, process development, analysis and detection, and immune intervention evaluation, produced by prebiotics are rare too. For example, at the technical level, our self-developed immobilized enzyme technology system is unique in the world, and its outstanding performance in environmental friendliness has been recognized by global partners. We have established a large database and carried out a number of studies, which are valued by many foreign partners.
In addition, Quantum high-tech has a deep brand accumulation, which is very important and solid foundation. Moreover, today we have 7 years of overseas cooperation business experience, a complete sales network covering the world, and a deeper understanding of foreign business models and cultures. Quantum (HK)'s business staff have rich foreign work and life experience. As an overseas Chinese, I have lived in China for 8 years. I also consider myself a person who can understand the needs and expressions of both parties. It is hoped that this will achieve the effect of reducing misunderstandings and increasing trust in communication.
4. Due to the impact of the economic cycle and the recent epidemic, it is now a cold winter for many Chinese enterprises, and the establishment of Quantum (HK) shows that Quantum Bio group is full of confidence in the overseas market for a long time to come. Could you please interpret the prospect of prebiotics in the overseas market for us?
Regarding this issue, first of all, we regret this epidemic that has had a huge impact on the world. At the same time, we believe that whether it comes from the economic cycle or the epidemic, the long-term positive fundamentals of the Chinese economy will not change. We are full of confidence.
Then, returning to the global market, the implementation of the Group's internationalization strategy is based on full confidence in the prospects of the global micro-ecological health industry. From the perspective of products and trade, the prebiotic market continues to improve. Data from Global Market Insights shows that from 2015 to 2023, the global prebiotic market size has a compound annual growth rate of 11.6%. At the same time, the growing concern about chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, coupled with the increasing emphasis on healthy diet, has led to the widespread demand for prebiotics. In addition to nutrition and health products, as well as baby milk powder and baby food, we see that prebiotics have become the nutritional basis of more and more common foods. On the other hand, micro-ecological research is one of the most popular research fields in life sciences today. Its broad prospects are widely recognized by academics and industry. We look forward to more cooperation with partners in this field. Finally, regarding the epidemic situation, as an emergency, it has made the global public more clearly aware of the value of micro-ecological health to human immunity, which has given us greater motivation.
5. There is no doubt that Quantum (HK), as the bridgehead of the strategic deployment of the Quantum Bio Group's micro-ecological internationalization, its establishment and development will definitely bring great value and effects to the group as a whole. Would you like to talk to us about your expectations?
Globally, the total market for micro-ecology is mainly foreign, and the cake is in overseas. Today, we have accumulated a good foundation in the field of microecology, and have advanced core technologies. We are confident and determined to let more foreign countries see the energy of China's microecological leader.
Quantum (HK)'s top leader is the company committee, which includes the Group Chairman, Group President and General Manager of the micro-ecological nutrition division. This committee brings together the characteristics of international vision, market experience and linked capital. In the future, under the guidance of the General Manager, we will use integrated supply chains and combine our own innovation advantages to strive to bring sustainable profitability growth to the group as a whole, enhance international competitiveness, realize the value of the brand internationalization, and even China Enterprises gain greater say in the international micro-ecological field. In the long-term, we have solidified the status of the Quantum Hi-Tech brand of the Quantum Bio Group as a leader in the global micro-ecological health industry.
6. If you would like to summarize your expectation for the future of Quantum (HK) in one sentence, which sentence would you use? thank you very much!
Quantum (HK) will become an open platform, which will create a "global micro-ecological health industry ecosystem", give employees, customers and shareholders confidence and support, and realize the mission of "allowing millions of households to have micro-ecological health and happiness".
