A vast world of complementary advantages (Tidal Bay Area ④)

  People's vision

  Core reading

  The nine cities in the Greater Bay Area have developed manufacturing industries, low business costs, a vast market hinterland, and their respective development characteristics. In the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the innovative elements of the cities in the Greater Bay Area are fully developed, and their development advantages complement each other. Hong Kong entrepreneurs with expertise provide a broad space for development

Harvesting scientific and technological fruits in the Greater Bay Area

  To get medicines in the hospital, it is inevitable to wait in line at the medicine collection office.

However, in some hospitals in Jiangmen, Guangdong and other cities, due to the use of an automatic dispenser, the time for patients to take medicine is greatly shortened.

As soon as the doctor finishes prescribing the medicine, the unmanned pharmacy over there has automatically sorted the medicines needed by the patients, and put them into each grid of the plastic pill box according to the number and order of the medicines taken, and the patient scans the code with the mobile phone. You can take your own pill box.

  "In the past, dispensing, dispensing, checking, and distributing medicines required at least four people to operate. After using the automatic dispensing machine, the pills will be accurately dispensed to the corresponding pill box through the Internet of Things technology, and only one pharmacist is required to make the final check. "As the founder of the project, Feng Weitang, who started his business from Hong Kong to Jiangmen, has noticed the application prospects of the "precision medication system" as early as 2012. "Precise dispensing and medication equipment can not only help hospitals save manpower and save time for patients, but also Pharmacies sell medicines by tablets instead of boxes, and patients can buy as much as they need, which can effectively reduce drug waste."

  With firm confidence in the application prospects of the "precision medication system", after years of preparation, at the end of 2017, Feng Weitang's team officially settled in the park as the first batch of objects to be introduced in the Zhuxi Innovation Valley (Jiangmen) Science and Technology Park, and founded Jiangmen Yunxun Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., Opened the road of exploration from concept to product.

  "At that time, the company had just settled down, and there was neither a physical product nor a model template, but only a PPT material." Feng Weitang said, Jiangmen related parties have hired 8 hospitals to help with the project and provide support. "The hospital not only provides us with medicines for image identification. Tested and showed our drug management system to help us develop a drug distribution system."

  For Feng Weitang, a native of Jiangmen, Jiangmen is not only his hometown, but also a place where he displays his talents.

The biomedical industry, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and pharmaceutical packaging materials, is Jiangmen's traditional advantageous industries.

Feng Weitang sent the automatic medicine dispenser and smart pill box in the experimental stage to the hospital in Jiangmen for free to collect suggestions for improvement.

After nearly two years of research and development, trials and improvements, this "precision medication system" consisting of an automatic dispenser, a smart pill box and a mobile phone applet is becoming more and more perfect.

Compared with foreign products of the same type, not only the functions are complete, but the price is greatly reduced.

  "At present, we have received many orders from hospitals in the Greater Bay Area, and it is expected to be officially mass-produced by the end of the year." Feng Weitang said that the entrepreneurial project can go to this day not only thanks to various supporting policies in the Greater Bay Area, but also Benefiting from the developed mobile Internet ecology in the Mainland, "Our smart pill box itself does not have a battery or a chip. Instead, smart management is achieved through the smart design of the mobile phone applet and the pill box. Therefore, the cost can be extremely low. It’s hard for peers to imitate."

Make entrepreneurship more possible

  "There are probably two kinds of success for technology entrepreneurial companies. One is to be favored by large companies and acquire at a suitable price; the other is to occupy a place in the market and make their own brand. In the past, Hong Kong technology entrepreneurs defined success. More refers to the former." Li Dehao, the founder of Guangdong Foshan Cloud Disaster Recovery Information Technology Co., Ltd., had started his own business in Hong Kong for many years and tried to make his own brand. However, the market competition was fierce and it was difficult to open the situation. For a time, he had to start a business while working. .

  "Disaster tolerance means that it can accommodate disasters. When application systems and databases are damaged by force majeure such as earthquakes and tsunamis, they can be taken over immediately by enabling real-time online standby application systems and standby servers to ensure the smooth progress of transactions." Li Dehao said. He started to develop backup software in 2004, and in 2009 he also independently developed a patented "automatic drill" technology, but he only earned word-of-mouth but no money.

  In 2013, Li Dehao decided to go north to find development space and registered Foshan Cloud Disaster Recovery Information Technology Co., Ltd. in Nanhai District, Foshan City.

Relying on the local industrial advantages and complete supporting policies, Li Dehao is confident in opening the situation, "Our goal is to start from Foshan and let the Chinese use self-developed application-level disaster tolerance products."

  With the strong support of the local government, Li Dehao's career developed smoothly.

In 2014, Li Dehao formed a technical team and cooperated with the Foshan Municipal Government to build an automatic drill cloud disaster recovery center.

Relying on the first-mover advantage of technology, Li Dehao started from Foshan to expand to other cities in the Mainland, and his share in the disaster recovery market continued to expand, with an annual net profit exceeding 10 million yuan.

  "The Greater Bay Area is a platform that can not only help Hong Kong entrepreneurs quickly familiarize themselves with the mainland market and culture, but also serve as a base for introducing products and services to the mainland market," said Li Dehao.

  Chen Sheng, a Hong Kong young man born in the 1980s, has a rich entrepreneurial experience. After arriving in Qianhai, Shenzhen, he made a major transformation and began to embrace Internet technology.

  In 2015, Chen Sheng, who was originally engaged in human resources consulting services, registered and established Xuexue Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone, and successfully settled in Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Dream Workshop.

He aims at the electronic system of the supply chain, and is mainly engaged in cross-border e-commerce supply chain platforms.

"Qianhai cross-border e-commerce is developing actively, but some mainland merchants have weak international connections. At that time, a group of foreign suppliers were seeking mainland partners in Hong Kong, so they decided to transform." Chen Sheng said.

  Facts have proved that Chen Sheng’s decision is highly compatible with Qianhai’s functional positioning: 6 months after operation, the project has achieved direct connection to 212 large international suppliers, with more than 150,000 varieties of goods, and 8124 orders for cross-border transactions completed. , Indirectly incubated more than 140 cross-border e-commerce companies, achieving the highest monthly transaction volume exceeding 34.5 million US dollars.

After starting the business for less than a year, he received the first round of financing of RMB 50 million.

Make good use of the innovation advantages of the two places

  The successful entrepreneurship in Qianhai has attracted more and more attention to Chen Sheng, and more and more young entrepreneurs in Hong Kong have asked him for help.

Chen Sheng and his team gradually grasped the direction, decided to transform again, and began to turn to incubators to serve startup companies.

In addition to the co-creation space operated by Qianhai DreamWorks and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base, he has also established youth entrepreneurship bases in Shenzhen, directly serving more than 300 Hong Kong teams.

"By providing'navigation' services for Hong Kong youths to innovate and start businesses in Shenzhen, we hope that more Hong Kong youths can share the opportunities for the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. In the future, Hong Kong youths will not only want to'innovate', but also more'finance'. Seek a model of co-development with mainland talents and actively integrate into the overall national development from all walks of life." Chen Sheng said.

  The wave of innovation and entrepreneurship in the Greater Bay Area is in full swing, which has also spurred Hong Kong's technological innovation atmosphere to heat up.

From the government to the private sector, there is unprecedented emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship.

  "The entrepreneurial environment in Hong Kong is much better than before. Not only are private individuals willing to invest in start-ups, the SAR government has given many policy support, such as helping start-ups to pay three-year salary for 4 talents, and Hong Kong Science Park also has rent-free venues for start-ups. Preferential policies and so on.” As a rare senior maker in Hong Kong’s entrepreneurial circle, Feng Weitang did watchmaking in the 1990s. He founded a technology entrepreneurship in early 2000. It is the third time he has created a precise medication system. The changes are deeply felt.

  Feng Weitang said that Hong Kong still has many unique entrepreneurial advantages. His latest artificial intelligence project entrepreneurial team is located in the Hong Kong Science Park.

"After the project has matured, it will also consider launching in nine cities in the Greater Bay Area."

  Xue Yongheng, Director of the Bureau of Innovation and Technology of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, believes that Hong Kong and the Mainland have formed a complete technological innovation "industry chain": Hong Kong provides basic scientific research results and a financing environment, and the Mainland is responsible for the commercialization of scientific research results, and finally enters the Mainland Greater Bay Area. The broad market of the company realizes "complementary advantages"

"I am very confident that as long as the Greater Bay Area complements each other's advantages and combines the characteristics of Hong Kong, in the future, innovation and technology will surely become the driving force of Hong Kong's economy and also make new contributions to the country." Xue Yongheng said.
