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.
