Themed "Gathering Stars of Innovation to Lead the Future," this year's competition spans six major fields, including Future Intelligence, Future Manufacturing, and Future Materials, encompassing 21 technological directions. It has attracted 126 overseas projects from 26 countries and regions worldwide. During the semifinal pitch session at the Asia-Pacific regional division (Hong Kong, China), Alioth Biotech received high praise from the evaluation panel for its technological leadership, team innovation capabilities, and industrial maturity.

According to the competition schedule, the finals of the 2024 "Word Future Industries Competition" will be held at the Shanghai headquarters of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) on May 27th. Thirty shortlisted projects and 25 shortlisted talents have been invited to participate in on-site pitches. Subsequently, the competition will organize a series of activities, including themed pitches and networking sessions focused on future industries. Projects and talents that have been shortlisted for the finals of the 2024 "Word Future Industries Competition" will also be included in Shanghai's Future Industry Project Database and Talent Pool, and will be eligible to receive relevant special support policies from the Shanghai municipal government, depending on specific circumstances.

The project that Alioth Biotech has shortlisted for this competition focuses on the research, development, and industrialization of high-performance filtration membranes—a critical material within the biopharmaceutical industry supply chain. Faced with the "chokepoint" technological challenges in filtration membrane materials, the Alioth team has dedicated significant efforts to advancing the R&D and industrialization of core membrane materials, committed to providing customers with superior and efficient filtration process solutions. Alioth Biotech will leverage this competition as an opportunity to deepen collaborative innovation with upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain, promote the application of high-performance filtration membranes in fields such as biopharmaceuticals, and contribute to the innovative development of the biopharmaceutical industry.
