The director of four entries in the Fast And Furious franchise will take the reins on the third episode in the sci-fi series and replaces Roberto Orci.
Lin directed The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6.
Orci left Star Trek 3 - due out in 2016 - earlier this month although he stays on as producer.
He wrote the first two Star Trek films, which JJ Abrams directed and amassed more than $852m worldwide through Paramount.
43 creatives include 21 from UK, 13 from US and nine from India.
The Oscar-winning director will also take part in an on-stage discussion.
There are plans for three more films and a TV series in the cult crime franchise.
Best rough cut was awarded to Do You Love Me, an archive-based movie about Beirut.
Film will have world premiere in Rotterdam’s Harbour strand.
Jordan Allwood joins the UKGSF team from sales outfit Independent Entertainment.
