Quintiles Officially Opens Greater China Regional Headquarters in Shanghai
More than 30 leaders from China's government and healthcare communities
joined Quintiles executives here today in officially opening the
Quintiles Greater China Regional Headquarters, further expanding its
ability to help Chinese companies expand globally and multinational
companies succeed in the world's second largest biopharmaceutical
market. The event comes 17 years after Quintiles first opened an office
in Shanghai.
"Today we celebrate not only Quintiles' growth, but also Greater China's
emergence as a global player in biopharma R&D," said Quintiles founder
and Executive Chairman Dennis Gillings, CBE, Ph.D., at the opening
ceremony at Shanghai's Feng Lin Science Park. "Two decades ago we opened
in Shanghai with 20 employees across Greater China - now we have more
than 1,000. Today I'm more confident than ever that the vision shared by
the leaders gathered here - of Shanghai and Greater China being centers
of global innovation in biopharma R&D and healthcare - will be realized."
Vice District Mayor Wang Hongzhou of Xihui District, Shanghai, joined
Dr. Gillings in speaking at the opening.
"Quintiles is a long and valued friend and advisor to China in matters
across the healthcare spectrum," Mayor Wang said. "The Feng Lin Science
Park is the centerpiece of our efforts to bring together academic and
industry leaders in a cental location where innovation and
collaboration can thrive. We look forward to our continued partnership
with Quintiles as we strive to integrate science, technology and
healthcare to save lives and alleviate suffering."
Quintiles' 4,000-square-meter (43,000 square feet) headquarters in
Shanghai's Feng Lin Science Park now has almost 300 employees and is
designed to host 450.
Ling Zhen, Quintiles general manager of Greater China, said: "Many of
Greater China's home-grown biopharma companies are looking to expand
globally. Our investment is designed to help them develop their
innovative pipelines with global market access in mind, opening the
large markets of Japan, U.S. and Europe to their products. At the same
time we're increasing our capabilities to help multinational companies
expand in Greater China."
Quintiles Greater China has employees in almost 30 cities and offices in
Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Hong Kong and Taipei, allowing it to serve
all major population centers and study sites.
