In other words, a large number of listed and pre-listed companies still have a long way to go before becoming giants in biotechnology.

Some companies have even had to consider shutting down some promising pipelines and even selling off their core products.
In this regard, Dr. Wang Xin pointed out, 'Entrepreneurs in the biotech field need to rely on scientific evidence, conduct systematic preliminary research, and choose to enter after fully competing with the market, rather than making blind investments; for investors, to find more certain investment opportunities, they need to conduct long-term and continuous in-depth research on the technological trends, policy changes, and industry dynamics of the biotech field, and keenly capture market fluctuations. Both of these tasks have high thresholds, but professional matters should be left to professionals. Frost & Sullivan is always keeping an eye on the development trends of the capital market, not only with rich industry research data but also with real-time transaction data, which can help entrepreneurs and investors solve these pain points and dilemmas.

"Entrepreneurs in the biotech circle mostly come from a scientific background," Dr. Wang Xin further stated, "Scientists must cultivate entrepreneurial spirit, and entrepreneurs must also possess scientific literacy. In addition, in the face of inevitable industry cycles, everyone should maintain a sportsman's spirit, forge ahead persistently, and wait for the right moment to act."
The essence of the entrepreneurial, scientific and sportsman spirit is applicable across all industries, including the consulting industry itself, and has also become the 'motto' for Frost & Sullivan's ongoing renewal.
