The 2016 World Life Science Conference kicked off at China National Convention Center in Beijing on the morning of November 1, 2016. Hollytech Linguistics provided English simultaneous interpretation services for the conference proceedings, along with written translation of associated materials. Additionally, we furnished interpretation support for a delegation of foreign Nobel laureates—including conference chair and Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, Professor David Baltimore of the California Institute of Technology—during their meeting with Vice Premier Liu Yandong at Ziguang Hall, Zhongnanhai.

The conference assembled a constellation of global luminaries in life sciences, comprising ten Nobel laureates, four recipients of the World Food Prize and Wolf Prize in Agriculture, the President of the Royal Society, the President of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and numerous other distinguished experts.
