Recently, the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission announced the list of projects proposed for inclusion in the 2023 Provincial Engineering Research Center preparation plan. The Hainan Provincial Engineering Research Center for Marine Bioactives and Bioproducts was included in the list.
The establishment of provincial engineering research centers aims to deeply implement the innovation-driven development strategy and accelerate the improvement of the innovation capability of strategic emerging industries in our province. According to the "Notice of the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission on Organizing the Declaration of Provincial Engineering Research Centers" (Qiong Fa Gai Bian Han [2023] No. 1039) and the "Administrative Measures for Hainan Provincial Engineering Research Centers" (Qiong Fa Gai Gui [2021] No. 13), after review and recommendation by relevant provincial competent departments and development and reform departments of various cities and counties, the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission commissioned third-party professional institutions to conduct comprehensive research and project approval through processes such as formal review, declaration defense, and expert review.
The Hainan Provincial Engineering Research Center for Marine Bioactives and Bioproducts is led and implemented by the Algal Bioactives and Bioproducts (ABB) team, in deep cooperation with the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Marine Bioproducts Cooperative Research Centre (MB-CRC) of Australia. Centering on the major needs in food, medicine, and other fields facing the construction of the country and the Hainan Free Trade Port, and targeting the rich marine biological resources in the South China Sea, it is committed to developing green bio-manufacturing technologies for high-end food and marine drugs, upgrading traditional manufacturing processes for food and medicine, and building an advanced manufacturing system for marine bioproducts.
