The Hainan provincial government issued a 15th Five-Year service-industry plan prioritizing tech, marine, biotech and commercial space clusters. Yazhou Bay Science City will host 16 specialized service platforms (including gene sequencing, molecular testing and variety testing) to create one-stop R&D outsourcing, testing and tech-transfer services; Haikou will develop a Pharma Valley CRO/CMO platform covering the full new‑drug R&D chain. The plan targets industrialization of underwater robots, deep‑sea sensors and offshore operation platforms and the creation of a national marine equipment manufacturing innovation centre. It directs construction of a Wenchang International Space City technology-innovation public platform, an International Star‑Rocket Collaborative R&D Center and an International Satellite Advanced Manufacturing Center, and supports application and commercialization of green propellants, rocket launch-and-recovery technologies and integrated LEO communications satellite constellations to build an integrated launch+service+manufacturing+application commercial space industry ecosystem.
