Chief Talent Officer Fanny Wong added, “HKSTP is committed to attracting and nurturing I&T talent while building a diverse and thriving innovation ecosystem, and promoting Hong Kong as an international hub for high-calibre talents. She said, “Hong Kong plays the dual role of a ‘super-connector’ and ‘super value-adder,’ bridging global I&T resources. With world-class Research & Development (R&D) facilities and international collaboration platforms, HKSTP offers a powerful launchpad for young professionals and entrepreneurs looking to go global. Coming to Hong Kong for internships, employment or starting a business will be an important step for you to enter the international stage. Join Hong Kong’s innovation and technology ecosystem and empower Hong Kong’s economy and high-tech talents.”
HKSTP continues to maintain close ties with the Government, industry, academia, and research institutions, and co-hosted the “Seminar on Hong Kong’s Science and Technology Innovation Ecosystem Empowers Mainland Enterprise to Scale globally” in Beijing, in partnership with the Hong Kong Alumni Association of Beijing Universities. Supported by the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Beijing Office and InvestHK, the forum spotlighted Hong Kong’s dynamic I&T ecosystem and encouraged Mainland enterprises to establish a presence in the city.
The event featured keynote speeches by distinguish guests, sharing Hong Kong’s development outlook and generating strong interest from the local business community. Nearly 100 participants attended, exploring potential collaboration and investment opportunities in Hong Kong.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Wong highlighted Hong Kong’s role in connecting the Mainland industries with the global markets and is also a critical springboard for Mainland enterprises expanding into Asia, deepening their presence along the Belt and Road Initiative, and expanding into emerging countries. He said, “The Science Park Shenzhen Branch in Futian plays the role to attract external investment and serve enterprises in going global, providing scientific research and collaboration space for innovative technology enterprises and talents, and strengthening the interaction of the global ecosystem.”
Mr. Wong also introduced HKSTP’s vibrant I&T ecosystem, home to over 2,300 tech companies from 25 countries and regions, and more than 15,000 R&D professionals. He invited entrepreneurs and innovators to bring their ideas to Hong Kong, whether they are looking to expand internationally or set up locally and become part of HKSTP’s dynamic community.
HKSTP also runs a suite of talent attraction and development initiatives, including the Global Internship Programme, which offers positions in biotech, AI & data, fintech, advanced manufacturing, and more. The programme received over 1,000 applications last year, selecting 30+ outstanding international students, and has seen applications triple to nearly 3,000 this year. Additionally, the Talent Foundry initiative partners with local universities to support students in career planning and professional development, helping bridge the gap between academic skills and industry needs, while expanding the local talent pool for the innovation sector.
