[Explanation] A research base with the theme of high technology and applied technology is developing rapidly along the coast of Tolo Harbour, Pak Shek Kok, Tai Po District, New Territories, Hong Kong.

As a statutory body established by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, it is also the bridgehead for Hong Kong's technological innovation. The main function of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park is to foster the development of innovation and technology ecosystems, cultivate technological talents and facilitate exchanges and collaboration, so as to provide services for Hong Kong and the rest of the world. The entire region creates social and economic benefits.

　　In the past 20 years of development, we have done a lot of different things, one of which is that we have an entrepreneurial incubation and cultivation program here, just say you have an idea to start a company, we will provide you with many services, including your The development of products, including your industrial applications, including your looking for investors, or the basics of opening a company and opening a bank (account), are very basic things, and they all help him.

Today, there are more than 300 companies in our incubator, and we have some very early stage companies, which means that college students have no idea and dare not start a company.

I'll give you the opportunity to learn from me. There are more than 200 such teams or companies doing it, and now there are more than 500 start-up (enterprises involved) cultivation programs.

　　[Explanation] In recent years, with the national "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly supporting Hong Kong's construction of an international innovation and technology center, the Hong Kong SAR government has also increased its support for innovation and technology.

Driven by both policy and technology, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park, which has been immersed in the global technology innovation field for nearly 20 years, has ushered in a development dividend period.

From no one cares to the market, from the market value of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to the capital scale of 40 billion, the growth experience of Hong Kong Science and Technology Park also reflects the epitome of the era of Hong Kong's "Golden 20 Years of Technology".

　　We have 1,100 companies in the Science Park today, compared to just over 600 when I first came in a few years ago, which has grown rapidly in the past few years.

There are also some of our start-up incubators, and today there are probably more than 500 companies here.

SenseTime, Simu, and Lala are all very successful examples from Hong Kong. More importantly, the number of people involved in innovative technology research and development has also increased a lot. In the Science and Technology Park, there are 17,000 people working here today, 17,000 11,000 of them are R&D personnel.

Therefore, we have some successful examples, and at the same time, the entire environment and the entire ecosystem are also getting bigger and bigger.

　　[Explanation] In 2014, Professor Tang Xiaoou of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and his team, who published the DeepID series of face recognition algorithms and achieved the world's first surpassing human eye recognition rate, registered and established a company called Shangtang Technology in the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park.

In the same year, EasyVan, which had been developing in the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park incubator for nearly a year, officially changed its name to LALAMOVE.

From SenseTime to Lala, after several years, start-ups have been established, developed and matured in Hong Kong, all of which are inseparable from the investment and support of the Science and Technology Park.

　　At the same time, a very important function of ours is to provide this kind of service we call "shared laboratory", such as electronics, biotechnology, data, sensors, robots and even financial technology. If you buy equipment and put it here, if your small company comes in, and you want to develop products, you don’t need to buy these equipment, you can just use it.

In the past four years, there have been more than 200 investment projects in our science park, adding up to more than 60 billion Hong Kong dollars in investment, which is very important for the development of the entire ecosystem.

　　[Explanation] Being backed by the country and facing the world is a favorable development condition and unique competitive advantage for Hong Kong, and it is also an important basis for the development blueprint of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park.

　　[Concurrent] Huang Keqiang, CEO of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation

　　Of course, we have our advantages and conditions, including that we have good university knowledge, and our scientific research strength is very strong. The key is how to turn this scientific research strength into product commercialization.

Use Hong Kong as part of the Greater Bay Area to develop, from a market with a population of 7 million to a market in the Greater Bay Area with a population of 80 million.

Our advantage in Hong Kong is the scientific research strength mentioned earlier. There are 5 universities ranked within 100, so our scientific research strength is very strong. At the same time, as an international financial center, Hong Kong can also be used as an export of the "Belt and Road", so We must do the functions in this aspect from this introduction.

　　[Explanation] Bravely standing on the tide for 20 years, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park has witnessed the ebb and flow of the global technological innovation field for decades, and also witnessed the forging ahead and changes of the city in the tide of the times since the return of Hong Kong.
