As a major province in marine resources and marine economy, Fujian Province enjoys a solid foundation in marine scientific research and boasts competitive marine-related research resources such as Xiamen University and the Third Institute of Oceanography. The Fujian Provincial Committee of the CPC and the People's Government of Fujian Province have attached great importance to accelerating building a "maritime Fujian" and advancing high-quality development of marine economy.
In recent years, Fujian Province has been relying on the construction of provincial innovation laboratories as an important strategic platform to improve its areas of weakness and build itself into a leading innovative province. Aside from building the first batch of 4 high-level provincial innovation laboratories by pooling the province's innovation resources, Fujian Province also started the construction of a provincial innovation laboratory for biological products and a provincial innovation laboratory for flexible electronics. This year, Fujian Province is also actively preparing for the construction of the marine innovation laboratory and the integrated circuit innovation laboratory, striving to build a laboratory system that is mission-driven and task-oriented.
