Supported by the Business Policy Unit and Innovation & Technology Committee
Home to 11 unicorns, five of the world’s top 100 universities and located at the heart of the emerging Greater Bay Area (GBA) innovation powerhouse, Hong Kong has immense potential to develop into a global innovation and technology (I&T) hub. As the city’s largest R&D base, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) believes that huge opportunities lie ahead for the I&T industry.
The Chamber is pleased to welcome Albert Wong, CEO of HKSTP, to share with you what’s next in Hong Kong’s innovation journey, and what the growth opportunities look like for start-ups and corporates looking to extend their reach into the GBA, across Asia and beyond.
