Biotech World ’s mission is to provide China’s emerging biotech community with timely, useful and insightful information about business and biotechnology. Biotech World serves four constituencies in China: manufacturers of biotech products, scientists, suppliers of biotech equipment and investors.

The magazine provides in-depth coverage about the most recent developments in applied research and commercialization, both in China and around the world, in a variety of biotech industry segments– industrial biotechnology, biopharmaceuticals, bioagriculture, chemical and enzyme development, traditional Chinese medicine and environmental markets.

Launched in December 2003, Biotech World is distributed every two months to 20,000 Chinese biotech professionals. The magazine is co-published by the International Data Group (IDG), one of China’s largest business-to-business (B2B) publishers.

Overseas publishing partners include Bio-IT World, IDG’s award-winning information technology (IT) magazine for bio-IT professionals in the U.S.; and Australian iotechnology News, the leading Australian weekly newspaper for the biotechnology industry.

Biotech World is the largest circulation biotech magazine in China – with more qualified subscribers than any other domestic biotech magazine. Subscribers include top executives at China’s leading pharmaceutical companies, research labs, scientific institutes, and universities. Other qualified subscribers include government officials and policy makers, production managers, entrepreneurs, biotech materials and equipment suppliers, investors, consultants and experts in the life sciences industries and a wide range of industrial scientists – including molecular biologists, pharmaceutical scientists, cell biologists, genetics and genomics researchers, biochemists, bio-IT experts, immunologists, bioengineers, industrial microbiologists, and bioprocess and bio-analytical experts.
