China News Service, May 23. According to the Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao report, Deng Xiwei, a professor of economics at the School of Economics and Management of the University of Hong Kong, pointed out in an interview that Hong Kong's new industrial advantages, the three most promising industries are food technology, health technology and green technology. The main industries of the advanced manufacturing center, including medical equipment and biomedical instruments, provide excellent conditions for the re-industrialization of the health technology industry."
The Hong Kong SAR government has vigorously promoted the re-industrialization industry in recent years. The Secretary for Innovation and Technology, Xue Yongheng, pointed out at the Legislative Council meeting recently that re-industrialization is expected to add new growth impetus to Hong Kong's economy and create more high-quality employment opportunities.
AMC located in Tseung Kwan O Innovation Park opened on the 22nd of last month. It claims to have the first intelligent logistics and production equipment that integrates automation in Asia. It is a large-scale digital high-end factory. Currently, more than 10 companies are negotiating or will soon enter. The center is expected to become a manufacturing base for advanced manufacturing industries such as medical equipment, biomedical instruments, and intelligent electronic devices.
In order to further explore the advantageous industries of Hong Kong's reindustrialization, the research team of the University of Hong Kong visited more than 200 manufacturing companies headquartered in Hong Kong last year, and finally identified the three most promising reindustrialization industries, including food technology, health technology and green. Technology.
Among them, in terms of health technology, Hong Kong not only has a world-class medical team and basic research and development, but also can use the uniqueness of Chinese and Western medicine to develop medicine and life technology.
Deng Xiwei said that at present, the five top universities have a lot of research in biotechnology, medicine, and western medicine, but they have not been commercialized, ignoring Hong Kong's advantages in health technology.
The "Innovation Park" base is a good hub for Hong Kong's SMEs to manufacture products.
Driven by the industrial center, these enterprises can fill the gap in manufacturing, improve the ecological chain of the upper, middle and lower reaches of Hong Kong, and can also promote economic diversification.
Deng Xiwei continued that waste disposal has always been an urgent issue in Hong Kong.
The development of green technology can not only improve the environment, but also increase the diversity of employment.
The research team of the University of Hong Kong found that more than 60% of green enterprises need more than 10,000 square feet of space to set up production lines in Hong Kong, reflecting that the recycling industry has not made use of advanced technology.
If we can make good use of technology, we can effectively reduce land use and production costs.
As for food technology, Huang Keqiang, CEO of the Science and Technology Park Company, also revealed recently that the SAR government has now invited the Science and Technology Park to conceive the idea of developing "AMC 2.0". It is convenient for more industries to invest in innovative manufacturing.
In fact, Hong Kong's re-industrialization also has the advantages of strong scientific research strength and internationalization.
Sun Dong, a member of the Legislative Council, told the Ta Kung Pao reporter that the R&D personnel of Hong Kong universities have rich experience in international scientific research cooperation and are an important part of the national innovation system and national strategic scientific and technological strength.
"Industrial development based on science and technology will be a new trend, and the future industrial competition in the world will also be a competition in scientific research."
Secondly, as an international metropolis, Hong Kong has always been a logistics hub in Asia by virtue of its superior geographical location, free port status and convenient multi-modal transport network. It has international business advantages and occupies an important position in international trade. .
Third, Hong Kong is backed by the motherland and has a vast mainland market. The development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has made Hong Kong more deeply integrated into the overall development of the country and has a steady stream of development opportunities.
