Cordelia Chung, chairwoman of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), views the city's inaugural five-year plan as a significant opportunity to revitalize Hong Kong's existing strengths and enhance resource allocation. Speaking to RTHK's Vision 15: Hong Kong's Chapter, she emphasized that the policy blueprint offers "coordinates" for the city's future development.
"As long as the five-year plan adheres to Hong Kong's unique system and free-market principles, I believe it can inject new vitality into our traditional strengths," Chung remarked. She highlighted areas like finance, legal system, intellectual property protection, free port, trade, and an international perspective as potential channels for innovation and industry growth.
Chung is particularly optimistic about the three sectors of artificial intelligence, health and life sciences, and green technology, which could propel Hong Kong's future development. Currently, approximately 17,000 researchers are stationed at HKSTP, prompting her to stress the importance of expanding the city's talent pool further.
