On July 22, 2010, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, the Development and Reform Commission, and the Economic and Information Technology Commission jointly hosted an expert demonstration meeting for the "Guangdong Marine Microalgae Bioengineering Technology Research and Development Center" at the Patent Technology Base in Longhu District, Shantou City. The demonstration meeting was presided over by Deputy Director Chen Rongbiao from the Development Planning Division of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology. Relevant leaders such as Deputy Director Liu Yanfei of the Shantou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau and Director Li Junxian of the Longhu District Science and Technology Bureau were also in attendance.
At the demonstration meeting, Professor Zhao Yanwei from Guangzhou University was elected as the leader of the expert group, and Zheng Yi from Shantou University as the deputy leader. After carefully listening to the feasibility demonstration report presented by Zheng Weiguo, the leader of Guangdong Runke Bioengineering Co., Ltd., on behalf of the supporting unit for the establishment of the "Guangdong Marine Microalgae Bioengineering Research and Development Center," and thoroughly reviewing the application materials, conducting on-site inspections, and conducting inquiries, the expert group unanimously agreed to pass the demonstration. The expert group believed that the supporting unit's goal to establish a provincial-level engineering technology research and development center is clear, the research and development content is specific, the organizational structure is reasonable, and the implementation plan is feasible, which meets the requirements of the "Administrative Measures for Engineering Technology Research and Development Centers in Guangdong Province." The expert group recommended that the provincial competent department approve the establishment.
Recently, the company has received a joint document and an awarded plaque for the engineering center from the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, the Development and Reform Commission, and the Economic and Information Technology Commission, based on the expert demonstration opinions. As the supporting unit, the company has officially and fully initiated the establishment of the engineering center and scientific research projects, and will continue to invest necessary human, financial, and material resources, as well as introduce modern enterprise management models, to ensure that the construction of the engineering center can play a leading role in industry innovation and accelerate the industrialization of scientific research and technological achievements, developing and producing more marine microalgae products that are beneficial to human health.
