Looking back on 2025, we have drawn cutting-edge synthetic biology technology into the broad industrial landscape with an innovation about "light". We have not only successfully broken through the core technology of plant self-luminescence, but also made "Star Firefly Night Flower" bloom in the public eye. With "highlight moments", we have clearly confirmed the commercial feasibility and future potential of the magic pen biological innovation path.
Independent innovation, technological peak, defining the road to industry benchmarking
We firmly believe that the depth of core technology determines the breadth of industrial applications. In 2025, Shenbi Biotech will continue to tackle difficulties in underlying research and development and build a solid independent technology moat.
The secret of "Starlight" is revealed nationwide
In March, Hunan Satellite TV's "News Truth" column team went into the Magic Brush Laboratory to reveal to the national audience the secret of the birth of the "Magic Brush Star Firefly Night Flower" self-luminous sunflower, showing how gene editing technology can give plants the "power of starlight".
Jointly build an innovation center
In November, the "Non-edible Flower Genetic Engineering Innovation Center" was jointly established with the Beijing Key Laboratory of Flower Development and Quality Control of China Agricultural University to establish a demonstration platform for industry technology transformation and compliance development.
World's first patent
In December, we achieved a revolutionary breakthrough in plant luminescence brightness and successfully built the "world's first dual-gene (TAL tyrosine pathway) pathway patent" independent technology system, achieving excellent performance that is "obviously visible to the naked eye in low-light environments."
Market disruption, igniting consumption, and implementing diverse application scenarios
From online hits to offline spectacles, from home life to public spaces, Shenbi Bio's products are integrating into diverse consumption scenarios at an unprecedented speed.
Hot sales online
In February, the self-luminous sunflower "Magic Pen Xingying Night Flower" started online testing, and nearly 10,000 units were sold in just three days. The Douyin live broadcast debuted and ranked 27th on the flower rankings. In October, e-commerce operations were officially launched, and star products quickly gained market favor.
Offline science popularization event
In July, we jointly created the "Meet the Light of Life", the country's first self-luminous plant exhibition and parent-child science exploration camp, with the National Museum of Natural History. It became a phenomenon-level science popularization event in Beijing this summer and was reported by authoritative media such as CCTV News.
Cultural tourism scenic spot initiative
In August, the world's first "luminescent microbial fluorescent waterfall" was built at Qingdao Underwater World, achieving a stable and bright artistic display in the complex open water environment of the outdoor cliff. It quickly became a check-in spot for local Internet celebrities and became popular on social platforms.
consumption concept innovation
In October, at the 4th Healing Expo, the concept of "plant light therapy" was proposed and demonstrated for the first time, applying luminous plants to visual relaxation and emotional healing, creating a new healthy consumption segmentation track.
Full of Honors, Authoritative Recognition, Consolidating the Industry’s Leading Position
Every step of solid growth has received widespread applause from the government, industry, media and market.
Government inspection confirmed
In March, the leaders of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee led a party and government delegation to Anhui for inspection and exchange. The main leaders of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee accompanied the whole process and highly affirmed the series of results of Shenbi Bio's "gene-edited self-luminous plants at night".
Competition continues to win gold
"Magic Pen Star Firefly Night Flower", the country's first self-luminous plant technology application project at night, has won the first prize of the 2025 Beijing Division China International College Student Innovation Competition, the gold medal of the 15th Anhui Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, and was awarded the "Excellent Entrepreneurship Project of the 9th Beijing Rural Entrepreneurship Competition". The company's founder and chairman Li Renhan was also awarded the honorary title of "Young Pioneer of Capital Rural Revitalization".
Authoritative media focus
In June, the 2025 China Internet Civilization Conference kicked off in Hefei. As a representative of technological innovation, Shenbi Biotech made a grand appearance in China Daily's "1.1 billion netizens light up more than just this bouquet of flowers" promotional video.
In December, Xinhua News Agency reported to the world the latest technological breakthroughs of Shenbi Biotech in both Chinese and English.
Ecological expansion, cross-border integration, and building a blueprint for future industries
We actively expand the boundaries of cooperation, promote the in-depth integration of synthetic biology with art, culture and tourism, education, and agriculture, and build a prosperous industrial ecosystem.
life rhythm art
In July, international pianist Zeemo, an internationally renowned independent musician and contemporary improvisational pianist, was inspired by the self-luminous sunflower "Star Firefly Night Flower" and used innovative bioelectric technology to create the experimental music work "Light of Life", allowing the sunflower's rhythm of life to cross species boundaries for the first time and be narrated in the form of sound.
National industrial layout
In July, Beijing Shenbi Dongsheng Technology was established, and in August, the Kunming production base was jointly built, laying a solid foundation for national business expansion.
Empowering science, education, culture and tourism
Throughout the year, we deeply participated in the National Science Popularization Month, the China Science Popularization Research and Tourism Conference, etc., and launched the "Luminescent Organisms" theme research course to empower the new ecology of science, education, culture and tourism.
Top summit debut
The results were displayed on top stages such as the HICOOL Global Entrepreneur Summit and the 6th Biomanufacturing Industry Conference, and were selected into the "Top Ten New Products of Creation 2025" authoritatively released by the conference.
Every recognition is the cornerstone for moving forward. Every ray of starlight illuminates the future journey to 2026. Our path will be clearer and firmer. The technology is deeply rooted: based on core patents, we continue to optimize performance and expand more plant categories; the application scenarios are wider: deeply integrating the night economy, cultural tourism landscape and rural revitalization to create an iconic "biological landscape"; ecological synergy and co-development: using innovative platforms to drive the standardized prosperity of the industrial chain, and working with partners to open up a vast blue ocean. We are participating in the definition of the future of an emerging industry.
In 2026, the magic pen creature will follow the light and go to the brighter stars!
