Through close collaboration with international partners, BGI continues to deploy cutting-edge solutions that save lives and strengthen health outcomes worldwide.

Advancing Personalized Healthcare through Precision Health

One of the most anticipated areas of innovation unveiled during the event was in precision health, with BGI driving the shift from reactive healthcare to proactive health management through advancements in intelligent and digital technologies.

Centered on the concept of personalized solutions for every individual, BGI introduced a new precision health management model that emphasizes tailored, comprehensive healthcare across every stage of life. By integrating genomics, multi-omics analysis, and artificial intelligence, this model creates individualized health risk maps, identifying potential disease risks and providing customized plans for lifestyle optimization and medical interventions, covering prevention, screening, diagnosis, and management.

This systematic health management approach is powered by advanced intelligent platforms and laboratory solutions that leverage automation and modular designs to enhance the efficiency of health data collection and analysis. These innovations enable rapid deployment, addressing diverse health needs across populations. Intelligent health management platforms allow users to gain comprehensive insights into their health status and receive dynamically updated personalized recommendations, fostering sustainable proactive health management.

Building on its innovative precision health model, BGI is transforming gut health management through advanced microbiome gene testing, multi-omics analysis, and AI-driven insights. By decoding each individual’s unique gut microbiome structure and leveraging vast strain databases, BGI offers personalized probiotic solutions tailored to optimize health outcomes. This approach addresses global needs such as chronic disease prevention and gut health promotion, surpassing generic solutions with targeted interventions.

Ensuring Safer Food with Genomic Technology

BGI Group is revolutionizing food safety through advanced genomic technologies, addressing the increasing complexity of global food supply chains while bolstering consumer trust and product traceability. By leveraging DNA-based solutions for soil health, origin authentication, and quality control, BGI has developed a comprehensive “land-to-table” safety system. These technologies can rapidly identify risks in food products, reduce reliance on chemical inputs, and enhance transparency in agricultural production.

BGI has introduced its Food Safety DNA Traceability Solution, which uses DNA as a "genetic ID" to ensure accurate verification of information across the entire supply chain, from production to consumption. Powered by BGI's high-throughput sequencing platform, the solution features a fully automated detection system for animal-derived food products, offering a seamless, one-stop service from DNA analysis to reporting. With the ability to detect over 14,000 animal-derived species, it enables origin authentication, identifies adulteration, and enhances efficiency through comprehensive multi-species analysis.

In addition to food safety, BGI is pioneering microbial innovations that support sustainable agriculture. By utilizing biofertilizers and microbial agents, BGI enhances soil health, increases crop yields, and reduces the environmental impact of chemical fertilizers. Together, these advancements create a resilient “land-to-table” ecosystem, empowering governments, businesses, and consumers to shift from reactive regulation to proactive prevention, fostering a healthier and more sustainable global food system.

Driving Sustainability in Agriculture and Biodiversity

BGI Group’s 26th-anniversary celebration also highlighted its commitment to promoting sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation. Through innovations in perennial crop technology and microbial research, BGI is transforming traditional farming practices. Perennial rice and corn, developed through years of genomic research, offer multiple harvests from a single planting, reducing labor and input costs while increasing land efficiency. These crops are now cultivated in over 10 countries and 130 regions, benefiting farmers globally by enhancing productivity and enabling integrated farming models.

In addition, BGI is advancing biodiversity preservation with cutting-edge research tools aimed at protecting genetic diversity and endangered species. By decoding complex ecosystems and developing conservation strategies, BGI empowers scientists and conservationists to safeguard the natural world for future generations. These efforts reflect BGI's vision of a sustainable future where technology supports both agricultural productivity and ecological harmony.

The theme “Health and Beauty for All” encapsulates BGI’s holistic approach to well-being, emphasizing the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health. The newly launched products and services align with this vision, offering solutions that empower individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives while fostering a healthier planet for future generations.

The 26th-anniversary celebration not only marked the launch of new products but also served as a reflection of BGI Group’s journey over the past two decades. Since its founding in 1999, BGI has grown into a global frontrunner in life sciences and biotechnology, making transformative contributions to human health and environmental sustainability.
