Connostone, a leader in new technology surgical robots announced the completion of a 500 million YUAN series B financing round, bringing in a number of well-known investors, including Eli Lilly Asia Fund, Meitan Dragon Ball and New World Development Group, as well as existing shareholders Qiming Venture Capital, Qingsong Capital, Banyan Capital and Pioneer K2VC to continue to invest.
The leading investor of this round of financing "Meituan Longzhu" was established in 2017. Led by Wang Xing, Meituan initiated the establishment of Meituan Industrial Fund for the first time. The first phase was 2.5 billion YUAN, with capital sources including Meituan, Tencent, New Hope and a number of large enterprises and professional parent funds. Investment direction includes to B and to C.
The financing of this bidding is mainly used for surgical robot product research and development, clinical trials, marketing, new product layout and construction of industry-leading technology platform, so that patients in China and around the world can enjoy high-end medical services more quickly. This is Meituan's first foray into medical robotics, according to public data from Tianyanzha.
Connor schouten has in shenzhen, China, Hong Kong, China and the United States, the world set up r&d center, forming a professional team of hundreds of people, completed the construction of the underlying technology platform and industrialization, and realize the mechanical structure, electrical architecture, software architecture, the complex algorithm, and the independent research and development of core technologies such as visual image system.
"Meituan believes that technology will make people's lives better," said Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan. We hope to cooperate with industry leaders to promote the clinical promotion and domestic replacement of high-quality medical products, promote the progress of medical science and technology, and bring more patients a better life. This is also highly consistent with meituan's mission. "The Internet plus healthcare industry has become a standard configuration for Internet companies. In 2019, Shanghai Sankuai Technology Co., Ltd. invested 1 million yuan in Shenzhen Baishou Health Information Technology Co., LTD. The invested company sold second and third class medical devices, which means Meituan entered the medical device market and further entered the medical market.
After the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, all walks of life are accelerating their intelligence, and Meituan's unmanned takeout food delivery robot has emerged at the right moment. The medical field itself is a field with a "high-tech" halo, and the penetration of "robot" -- heavy investment in Comstone is also reasonable.
This is a high technical threshold, develop registration listed cycle is long, high cost, and domestic want faster sinking to the surgical robot application scenario, perhaps by cheap or weak link, but this action may not be able to offset the time needed for the product itself and research and development costs, as domestic surgery robot slowly rise ceaselessly, Domestic Internet giants have entered this track, whether the future can further break the existing market monopoly pattern, we wait and see!
