‘‘Hong Kong is never short of research talent but rather ‘‘
has limited room for them to shine. With the availability
of direct research funding from the Mainland,
Hong Kong scientists have the very much needed
research support as well as expanded opportunities
to involve in national science and technology projects.
Together with local improvements to research policy
and funding, I am confident that Hong Kong can
compete internationally and thrive as a leading I&T hub
in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area.
