Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>British-Swedish pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca on Friday announced a $2.5 billion investment in Beijing, enhancing its commitment to advancing life sciences in China.<\/p>\n

This major investment will establish the company’s sixth global strategic R&D center and its second in China, following the one in Shanghai.<\/p>\n

The initiative also includes agreements with leading biotech firms Harbour BioMed, Syneron Bio, and BioKangtai.<\/p>\n

The new R&D center will focus on early-stage research, clinical development, and cutting-edge innovations in biology and AI.<\/p>\n

Situated in the Beijing International Pharmaceutical Innovation Park (BioPark), the facility will be near top biotechs, research hospitals, and regulatory agencies.<\/p>\n

AstraZeneca expects its workforce in Beijing to grow to 1,700 employees.<\/p>\n

This $2.5 billion investment reflects AstraZeneca’s belief in “the world-class life sciences ecosystem in Beijing” and its continued commitment to China, said Pascal Soriot, AstraZeneca\u2019s CEO. He underlined the center’s role in driving global medical innovation.<\/p>\n

Additionally, AstraZeneca will launch a joint venture with BioKangtai to develop and manufacture vaccines, marking the establishment of its first vaccine manufacturing facility in China.<\/p>\n
