The 2025 China Internet Civilization Conference, with the theme of "Gathering the Positive Energy of the Internet and Leading the New Trend of the Times", successfully opened in Hefei on June 10. China Daily launched a promotional video with the title "1.1 billion netizens light up more than just this bouquet of flowers." Shenbi Biotech has detonated the entire Internet with its self-luminous plant technology. It has become the representative of Hefei's technological innovation company introduced at the beginning of the video. It allows fantasy scenes built by luminous plants that once only existed in fantasy movies and beautiful imaginations to shine into real life, showing real cases of technology changing life to the people across the country.
By overcoming difficulties in bioscience technologies such as cross-material gene editing, Shenbi Bio has successfully broken through the barriers to plant gene expression efficiency. After the world's first high-brightness self-luminous sunflower came out at night, it not only attracted the attention of international authoritative organizations and was awarded the honor of being certified as the "Pioneer of Self-luminous Plants in China", but also won unanimous praise from the Internet. Some netizens commented like this: "Light chasers! Finally become light! The "firefly" of the plant world is born. This is a dreamy linkage between technology and nature!"
In 2023, Chairman Li Renhan, who was still studying for a Ph.D. at China Agricultural University, contacted Hefei University of Science and Technology Silicon Valley online. Within a month, the company registration, laboratory setup and other processes were quickly completed. It can be seen that gene editing technology lights up luminous plants and even lights up the dreams of light chasers.
"Corico Gas" Hefei's success story
In 2023, Shenbi Biotechnology successfully settled in Hefei High-tech Zone. As a key incubator company in the Silicon Valley of USTC, it will delve deeply into the field of biotechnology and decipher the life secrets of plant self-luminescence. After more than two years of overcoming difficulties, from the initial entrepreneurial assistance, Hefei lit up the flower of Shenbi Bio, and now Shenbi Bio has begun to shine, becoming a successful example of "Koriko Qi" Hefei.
As mentioned in the video, fireflies in the countryside once illuminated a doctor's childhood and inspired him to create flowers that glow by themselves. Facing the future, Shenbi Bio will continue to take root in Hefei and face the whole country, continue to delve into the field of gene editing, creatively produce more products like "self-luminous sunflowers", dig deep into the application scenarios of self-luminous plants, and help scientific and technological achievements better enter people's lives from the laboratory, build a better future together, and paint the future with light.
