BIOHK2024 | Leung Chun-ying: Science and technology play important role in comprehensive deepening of reforms
The Hong Kong International Biotechnology Convention (BIOHK2024) is held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from today (Sept. 11) to Sept. 14.
Leung Chun-ying, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech on "China's Technological Innovation from the Perspective of Hong Kong."
Leung pointed out that China's reform and opening up over the past 46 years has been a significant force that profoundly influenced Hong Kong. He noted that now China has entered a stage of comprehensive deepening of reforms, during which science and technology play an important role.
Leung highlighted that in terms of private enterprises, future efforts should focus on supporting them in connecting with the nation's cutting-edge scientific resources. With regard to education, he expressed hope for more collaboration between top-tier foreign science and engineering universities and Chinese universities.
He also envisioned the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), stating that in the future, there will be not only closer cooperation between Hong Kong and the cities in the GBA but also the exploration of collaborative opportunities with more cities in mainland China outside the GBA.
