  "With the support and rewards of Guangzhou Nansha, our research institute is very motivated to help good technologies incubate into enterprises." Gao Min, dean of the Fok Yingdong Research Institute of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency recently. At present, the Nansha Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao (International) Youth Innovation Workshop operated by the research institute has successfully incubated dozens of projects, with more than 30 companies under incubation.

  Nansha, located in the geographic and geometric center of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, has successively issued the "Guangzhou Nansha New Area (Free Trade Zone) Supporting Measures for the Development of Science and Technology Innovation Industries" (hereinafter referred to as "Supporting Measures") and "Supporting Nansha" in recent years, benchmarking against international advanced areas Measures such as “Several Policies and Measures for the Main Bearing Areas of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Comprehensive National Science Center” (hereinafter referred to as “Policy Measures”) have been continuously improved in the introduction of high-tech enterprises and the support of talents from Hong Kong and Macao.

  Among them, the "Support Measures" will give each newly settled high-tech enterprise a settlement reward of 500,000 yuan (RMB, the same below).

"Policies and Measures" For talents who innovate and start businesses in Nansha, those who meet the conditions can receive a resettlement subsidy of at least 2 million yuan and a maximum of 10 million yuan; for Hong Kong and Macao youth start-ups that have been registered in Nansha for more than 1 year and pay taxes according to law, A one-time subsidy of up to 100,000 yuan will be given to 20% of the initial paid-in capital contribution.

  Gao Min believes that the attractiveness of Nansha's science and technology innovation system comes from the superposition of start-ups and talent policies.

For example, he said that a Hong Kong and Macao team landed in Nansha, and as a start-up enterprise landed in Nansha, it enjoyed corporate discounts. At the same time, young talents from Hong Kong and Macao in the team could also apply for a generous "talent subsidy", which provided sufficient reserves for the start-up capital of the company.

  Gao Min told reporters that Nansha has also designed a five-year talent plan to facilitate sustainable development, giving talents various rewards and discounts year by year.

  "In the past, Hong Kong and Macao lacked 'supercomputing' (supercomputing) capabilities. If supercomputing is required for the research work of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, it would take a week to bring the data back to Hong Kong and Macao by manually carrying hard drives from Shenzhen to and from Hong Kong and Macao. Gao Ming said that nowadays, the Guangzhou Supercomputing Nansha Branch Center operated by the Fok Yingdong Research Institute provides supercomputing services, and the joint innovation of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao has become convenient and fast.

  According to statistics, the Guangzhou Supercomputing Nansha Branch Center has provided supercomputing services for more than 200 Hong Kong, Macao and overseas teams, and the total paid use of supercomputing resources is equivalent to more than 3,800 years of computing power on home 6-core computers.

  "The "Policies and Measures" also emphasizes creating a source of original innovation and promoting the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, all of which are consistent with the goals of our institute." Gao Ming said that not only young people from Hong Kong and Macao are pursuing their dreams in Nansha, but also the Fok Yingdong Institute is also pursuing dreams in Nansha. , expecting to build a new innovative industrial system in Nansha, transforming scientific discoveries into practical technological inventions, and then hatching into an industrial chain.
