.
For example, Porton announced on the evening of August 2 that in order to further expand the global operation layout, the company plans to build a R&D and production base in Slovenia, focusing on GMP intermediates and API production process development, analytical method development and kilogram to 100kg preparation services
required from preclinical to clinical stage to the full life cycle of drug launch 。 The investment project intends to lease the site of Lek (a subsidiary of Novartis) at Kolodvorska cesta 27, 1234 Menges, Slovenia, and invest 50 million euros (equivalent to about 350 million yuan) to build a R&D and production base, which is expected to be put into operation in
September 2024.
Porton said that the process development and production base that the company plans to build in Slovenia will become the company's first R&D and production base
in Europe.
Slovenia's R&D and production base will effectively cooperate with the company's existing business development and R&D bases in Europe and the United States to promote the smooth implementation
of the company's internationalization strategy.
At the same time, the establishment of a R&D and production platform in Slovenia will help the company introduce experienced talents in the CDMO industry in Europe and enhance the company's competitiveness
.
It is reported that the planned construction of this investment project includes process development laboratory, kilogram laboratory, process safety laboratory, analytical research laboratory and pilot plant
.
After the site is put into use, the company's overseas API process development and production services will be expanded from kilograms to 100 kilograms
.
It is reported that BeiGene has also begun to seek to "break through" the European market
this year.

Analysts said that in recent years, with the introduction and landing of a series of policies to encourage the research and development of new drugs, the innovation vitality of China's biomedical industry has been continuously improved, playing an increasingly important role
