Abstract

The iteration of biotechnology and the transformative development of biomanufacturing driven by synthetic biology are drawing the blueprint for the future bioeconomy. Around this strategic goal, in the past 10 years, Shenzhen has collaborated with relevant national departments and has taken a series of measures to initially create a sound ecological and innovative chain for synthetic biology and bioindustry. This study summarizes these 10 measures into three major categories: the construction of new R&D institutions and innovation bases, the implementation of technology transformation carriers and synthetic biology industry park, and the measures to encourage students’ innovative spirit. The successful implementation of these measures may provide a fresh Shenzhen model for developing new quality production force.
