Creating A Global Community
From March 25th - 31st, 16 companies visited 4 different cities in China; Shaoxing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Shanghai. This was a fantastic opportunity for these entrepreneurs to learn about the life sciences industry in China, meet with potential investors, manufacturers and strategic partners.
“InTeahouse put together a world class road show of summits for the U.S. life sciences companies and industry experts like us to connect with investors and strategic partners in China. Over the course of 8 days, we made great connections that should yield future investment opportunities and strong partnerships.”
“As start-ups representing all corners of the globe, we received everything we needed to succeed, eg, funding, subsidies, access to talent, distribution to an enormous population, strategic partnership, and multi-tier government support for success. China is letting innovation lead the growth trajectory of the life sciences industry. Their coordination of life science companies, government, and investors work seamlessly toward building collaborative partnerships with US innovative companies. I am very pleased to have been part of this initiative.”

XGenomes
XGenomes’ sequencing chemistry is completely different than those that have gone before. It is based on real-time parallel acquisition of sequence from unamplified single molecules of DNA or RNA. Its advantages over competition expect to be (1) higher sensitivity, (2) lower error, (3) 10x faster speed, (4) lower cost of instrument and consumables production, (5) less complex and better integrated and therefore easier to use, (6) more complete information as it covers 100% of the genome and provides long read lengths.
