Its six major parks are for biology innovation, biomedicine, biofarming, medical devices, medical health and bioenergy, and have developed well in the base even as planning for an additional Sino-Singapore biotech park and a bio-manufacturing park is under way, which additions will make the Biolake a thorough R&D, incubation, production, logistics, administration and residential complex.
