‘‘Hong Kong’s proven record in basic research and ‘‘
laboratory management attracts many world-class ‘‘
researchers to the city and grooms young local
scientists for professional development.

Hong Kong is well-positioned as being Asia’s world city,
exhibiting remarkable strengths in the areas of financial
services, legal system, cultural diversity and cosmopolitan
lifestyle including great dining experiences. With the new
Technology Talent Admission Scheme recently announced
by the government, Hong Kong will further enhance her
competitiveness in developing innovation and technology
in the Greater Bay Area.

‘‘Hong Kong has a dynamic history of entrepreneurs
who built our leading position in trade, shipping and
financial services. The same entrepreneurial energy is
driving today’s innovation in Hong Kong’s emerging
sectors including artificial intelligence, bio-sciences
and FinTech. Hong Kong has business-friendly taxes,
an internationally-recognised legal system, a vibrant
cosmopolitan culture and access to the vast China market.
These elements combine to shape a uniquely favourable
environment for attracting the best global talent and
engaging in creative enterprise.
