At the beginning of the new year, the 3rd Sanya International Seed Industry 
Scientists Conference and the 2024 International Seed Industry Science and 
Technology Expo were successfully held in Sanya, Hainan Province. The event 
aims to establish a platform of scientific and technological innovation for 
international exchange and cooperation across the seed industry.

Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City, one of the key parks of the 
Hainan Free Trade Port, has been emphasizing on incubating South China seeding 
technology and deep-sea technology in recent years. It intends to use the R&D 
platform to drive the in-depth integration of industry, academia, research, and 
urban development, accelerate the pace of high-quality construction, and 
promote sound development of land-based and marine industries, according to the 
Publicity Department of Sanya Municipal Party Committee.

In October 2023, the Deep-Sea Science and Technology Innovation Public Platform 
of Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City was officially launched. As a key 
project of marine R&D in Hainan Province, Yazhou Bay Science and Technology 
City takes full advantages to integrate high-precision equipment, cutting-edge 
technology, talented professionals and other resources to form a "gravitational 
field", attracting a number of enterprises and R&D institutions to settle in. 
It's now becoming a vital hub to gather industrial resources for the deep-sea 
development.

The City enjoys unique geographical location and favourable policies, and 
therefore is able to drive integrated innovation relying on the whole system. 
It has been making every effort to establish the entire industry chain of the 
seeding sector, integrating R&D, production, sales, academic exchanges, and R&D 
achievement commercialization into the existing seeding capacity, creating a 
"Silicon Valley of South China seeding" that serves the whole country.

Next step, Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City will gather more resources to 
build a cluster of open platforms to drive the sharing of deep-sea and seed 
industry science and technology innovation. The high-standard system will 
provide a strong guarantee for domestic and foreign R&D innovation enterprises, 
and strive to create a new business image of a "science and technology 
innovation highland" for the Free Trade Port.
