Marine biotechnology refers to the applied science and technology for large-scale production marine bioproducts and provision of services for industry and community based on sustainable utilization and management of marine bioresources. The 1st International Marine Biotechnology Conference was held in Tokyo, Japan in 1989. Over the last 30 years, the global marine biotechnology had progressed rapidly in promoting the sustainable and healthy development of marine aquaculture, the development of novel marine bioproducts, the conservation of marine environment and bioresources, and the construction of “harmonic ocean” etc. It served not only the upgrade of traditional marine bioindustry of fisheries and aquaculture, but also the growth of many newly emerging industries such as marine pharmaceuticals, marine biomaterials and marine functional foods. The theme of 12th International Marine Biotechnology Conference held in Shizuoka, Japan on 9−13 September 2019, with “the next generation of marine biotechnology” as the theme. The conference served to strengthen the platform for the global exchange of new advances in marine biotechnology and the effective development of cooperations for government, academy and industry. This conference had promoted heavily on the roles of young scientists and entrepreneurs for the advances in marine biotechnology. This review, based on new advances reflected in the conference, proposes notable key directions in marine biotechnology for China over the next 5−10 years, and suggests the priorities of training young talents especially those integrated with entrepreneurs’ skills and to developing the leading strategic position in fostering new industries.
