Weihai enterprises go global to explore new opportunities in medicine and healthcare

On November 29, 2024, Liu Guigen, the general commander (general manager) of the Angola "Aluminum Industrial Park" investment project of Hebei Huatong Cable Group, and his team of two people, with the important task of promoting international cooperation in Weihai's pharmaceutical and medical device industries, visited the Weihai Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Industry Association and had in-depth exchanges and discussions with the association and representatives of many local pharmaceutical and medical companies. This visit not only carries the expectation of promoting the economic development of Weihai, but also carries the vision of improving the medical level of Angola.

At the symposium, Zhang Ji, acting vice president of Weihai Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Industry Association, and General Manager Liu Guigen introduced the overview of their respective fields and cooperation intentions. General Manager Liu pointed out: "Angola's current medical level is relatively backward, and it is not yet possible to perform high-end medical operations such as craniotomy and heart stent surgery. Therefore, building a pharmaceutical factory, medical device factory or hospital in Angola undoubtedly has broad development prospects." He further emphasized the cooperation concept of "strong alliance and group going overseas", hoping to work hand in hand with Weihai's pharmaceutical and medical companies to jointly explore overseas markets.

General Manager Liu Guigen frankly said: He has a shallow understanding of the pharmaceutical and medical device industry. He hopes that through this symposium, he can collect more plans and suggestions on building factories and hospitals in Angola, and hopes that the participating companies can list a detailed list to clarify the problems that need to be solved locally. He said that this list will serve as an important basis for their communication with the Angolan government to understand the local government's ability and determination to solve problems.

The atmosphere at the symposium was lively. Representatives including Zhang Ji, Executive Vice President of Shandong Dazheng Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., Zhang Haiwei, General Manager of Shandong Qianshuda Medical Technology Co., Ltd., Wang Zhigang, General Manager of Weihai Rongcheng Tianbo Lude Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Fang Lei, General Manager of Weihai Yuhua Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., and Lu Xiaopeng, General Manager of Weihai Zhongheng Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. spoke one after another and had in-depth discussions on specific matters of cooperation.

General Manager Liu Guigen said that he would actively communicate with the Angolan government to strive for more support in terms of policies and funds. At the same time, he also hoped that relevant enterprises in Weihai would respond positively and participate in this far-reaching cooperation. He emphasized that this cooperation will not only provide new opportunities for Weihai enterprises to "go global", but also bring new hope for the improvement of Angola's medical level.

Both parties said that they will further strengthen communication and cooperation and jointly promote the implementation of the project. They believe that through the joint efforts of both sides, it will bring tangible benefits to the people of both countries.

The visit of General Manager Liu Guigen has undoubtedly set a new example for Weihai enterprises to "go global". As global economic integration continues to deepen, Weihai enterprises are actively seeking new opportunities for overseas development. This symposium not only provides a platform for Weihai pharmaceutical and medical enterprises to expand into the international market, but also injects new vitality into the friendly cooperation between the two countries.
