Backed by cutting-edge 5G technology, the Joint Roadshows were held simultaneously at Hong Kong Science Park in Hong Kong as well as the Shenzhen State-owned and State-owned Enterprise Industrial Innovation Center in the Futian Free Trade Zone in Shenzhen, gathering city leaders, industry experts, investment institutions, and business representatives to exchange and showcase local and international 5G technologies and scientific research. Themed "Innovate Together for A Brighter Future", the conferences brought together industry leaders and young entrepreneurs from the two cities to share their experiences and visions to promote joint policies and develop the I&T ecosystems of Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
Albert Wong, CEO of HKSTP said, “5G is a pivotal global technology trend with the potential to enhance everyday lives and boost economic productivity. Hong Kong and Shenzhen both play an important role in driving its potential across the Greater Bay Area, and the Joint Roadshows have provided a glimpse of how we can collaborate in the long run. The collective ground-breaking innovation demonstrated by entrepreneurs and some of the finest R&D talent from these two cities will be proof of how Hong Kong can be a unique gateway into GBA technology and market opportunities while also be a launchpad for local innovation to go global.”
HKSTP is committed to fostering the cooperation in science and technology between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. HKSTP is speeding up the construction of Hong Kong Science Park Shenzhen Branch in Futian Free Trade Zone in Shenzhen to help institutions and enterprises interested in developing business in the Greater Bay Area to settle in Shenzhen. With Hong Kong’s advantage as an international gateway within the GBA, HKSTP will be setting up GBA InnoAcademy in the Shenzhen Branch to provide comprehensive services to I&T talent of both sides, covering three important functions of a resource center, a training hub, and an exchange platform. HKSTP will also establish GBA InnoExpress to provide business development support to I&T enterprises from the two cities.
