Ms Cordelia Chung, Chairman of HKSTP, said:“For 25 years, HKSTP has driven I&T as Hong Kong's economic engine. Across our 240-hectare infrastructure and service ecosystem-comprising Science Park, InnoCentre, three InnoParks, and our Shenzhen Park-we turn research into real-world impact. Looking ahead, our 'What's Next' vision is built on four dimensions, 'Broad and Deep, Far Yet Near': Broad means building a diverse talent ecosystem where human minds leverage technology; Deep involves advancing tech-industry convergence; Far entails expanding our global footprint; and Near focuses on drawing the future nearer with immediate action. Our community is our heartbeat. Together, we must strengthen, enhance, and collaborate, harnessing Hong Kong's unique advantages to shape a better future for all.”
To kick off this next era, HKSTP has partnered with CB Insights to launch a white paper titled “Inside Asia's Fast-Track to Global Tech Scale.“ The report shows how Asia is reshaping the global innovation playbook with a network of specialist clusters, each optimised for a different stage of the innovation journey and built for today's multipolar market landscape. CB Insights is a global tech intelligence leader and predictive data platform trusted by Fortune 500 companies.
Mr Terry Wong, CEO at HKSTP, said:“Asia's rising innovation power is rewriting the global innovation map. While Silicon Valley grew as a single, all-in-one hub, Asia, with the Chinese Mainland as a key technology engine, is evolving an accelerated and more specialised network for global innovation. Hong Kong's role as a super connector and value-adder has never been more important as Asia sets a new benchmark for start-up ecosystems. As HKSTP steps up as an ecosystem orchestrator, we are connecting innovators with capital, talent, deep Mainland China links and trusted pathways to global markets.”
