AI in life sciences explained: The technology that could reinvent medicine - McKinsey & Company

Yili recently hosted the World Dairy Conference in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China, where its Chairman Pan Gang made the bold declaration that Hohhot had now progressed from being the ‘China Dairy Capital’ to the ‘World Dairy Capital’. It is not just the firm singing Hohhot’s praises on its own: The International Food Science and Technology Alliance presented Pan with a ‘World Dairy Capital’ plaque onstage at the conference, and a ‘World Dairy Capital’ sculpture was placed in the Yili Modern Smart Health Valley in Hohhot on August 1. The accolades aside, Hohhot has indeed emerged as one of the world’s largest and most important dairy hubs, being home not only to Yili but also its top competitor Mengniu Dairy. Keen to live up to its dairy leadership position, Yili has not been shy about sharing the technologies it is utilising in order to shift the dairy sector forward. “Many people today still see dairy farms as only having grass, cattle and cattle herders — but in the Yili Modern Smart Health Valley, all our cows have digital identities that help us to deliver personalised nutrition for each of them,” a Yili spokesman said.
