High-quality research in the field of marine biotechnology is one of the key-factors for successful innovation in exploiting the vast diversity of marine life. However, fascinating scientific research with promising results and claims on promising potential applications (e.g. for pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, (feed-)products for aquaculture and bioremediation solutions) is not the only factor to realise the commercial applications of marine biotechnology. What else is needed to exploit the promising potential of marine biotechnology and to create new industrial possibilities? In the study project 'Ocean Farming-Sustainable exploitation of marine organisms', we explore the possibilities of marine organisms to fulfill needs, such as safe and healthy food, industrial (raw) materials and renewable energy in a sustainable way. One of the three design groups is envisioning the future of strong land-based 'marine' market chains. Marine biotechnology is one of the foci of attention in this design group. This article provides a model of future-oriented thinking in which a variety of experts actively participate.
海洋生物技术领域的高质量研究是成功创新利用丰富多样海洋生物的关键因素之一。然而,引人入胜且成果丰硕、声称具有潜在应用前景(如用于制药、营养补充剂、水产养殖(饲料)产品及生物修复解决方案)的科研并非实现海洋生物技术商业应用的唯一因素。要挖掘海洋生物技术的潜在前景并创造新的产业机遇,还需要什么呢?在“海洋养殖——海洋生物的可持续开发”研究项目中,我们探索海洋生物以可持续方式满足诸如安全健康食品、工业(原材料)及可再生能源等需求的可能性。三个设计团队之一正在设想强大的陆地“海洋”市场链的未来。海洋生物技术是该设计团队关注的焦点之一。本文提供了一个多种专家积极参与的面向未来的思维模式。
