Companies in Beijing E-Town are actively embracing the "AI+" initiative to drive new productivity. Among these innovators is Union Strong (Beijing) Technology Co, a pioneer in applying AI to surgical procedures.

Union Strong's founder and chairman, Qin Lan, emphasizes the importance of innovation and proactive adaptation.

The company prioritizes R&D investment, resulting in a range of AI-powered solutions like AI-assisted diagnosis, decision-making, and treatment.

These innovations streamline surgical processes, enhance standardization, and upgrade medical practices. Qin vividly illustrates this transformation by likening AI's role in surgery to that of autonomous driving in cars, simplifying complex procedures.

Since its establishment in Beijing E-Town in 2019, Union Strong has obtained regulatory approval for two products, including UKnow surgical planning software—the first nationally approved "AI+ treatment" medical device. Qin envisions democratizing surgical expertise, making complex procedures more accessible to a broader range of medical professionals, thus elevating grassroots healthcare standards.

Union Strong's innovation mirrors Beijing E-Town's broader initiatives, such as the commencement of Hengrui Pharmaceuticals' northern headquarters and industrial base, the planning of the "National Exemplary Rocket Park," and the inauguration of the "Sky Mirror Synthetic Biology Manufacturing Public Technology Platform." These endeavors signify Beijing E-Town's dedication to innovation-driven development.

In the coming year, Beijing E-Town plans to intensify efforts in establishing an international science and technology innovation hub and advancing key technological capabilities. This includes breakthroughs in strategic and leading edge technologies, aiming for no less than 10 pioneering innovations.

Overall, Union Strong's AI-enabled surgical advancements exemplify Beijing E-Town's trajectory towards innovative growth, underpinned by collaborative ecosystems and a focus on technological excellence.
