The delegation also visited multiple universities ranked among the world’s top 10 in the UK, including Imperial College London, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and the University College London. They met with representatives from academic departments, research institutes, and innovation and entrepreneurship centres to explore various collaboration opportunities in talent development and startup incubation. The delegation hosted multiple sharing sessions on campuses, engaging with over 300 local students face-to-face and introducing internship and career opportunities at Hong Kong Science Park. They actively encouraged Hong Kong students pursuing studies in the UK to return to Hong Kong for work or entrepreneurship, collectively contributing to the thriving growth of Hong Kong’s I&T ecosystem.
HKSTP works closely with the government, industry, academia, and research sectors. In London, HKSTP co-hosted a seminar with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London (HKETO-London), Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), and the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES). The event attracted interest from the local business community, academia, and I&T sector, with nearly 100 attendees focusing on Hong Kong’s potential investment and collaboration opportunities. The seminar featured guest speakers delivering keynote speeches on Hong Kong’s I&T development prospects, highlighting the city’s dynamic I&T ecosystem.
During his speech at the seminar, Mr Albert Wong, CEO of HKSTP, said: “As a growing engine situated at an international I&T hub in Asia, the HKSTP understands that nurturing next-generation I&T talent is as important as any R&D project, if not more. We’re currently an ecosystem that over 2,200 tech companies from 26 countries and regions call home, offering comprehensive support to more than 15,000 research and development professionals – a network we’re looking overseas to extend, and a number we’re eager to invest in for a sustainable future.”
While continuing to support park companies in recruiting overseas talent, HKSTP will soon launch a new talent programme designed to attract Hong Kong students and research professionals abroad to pursue careers in the city. The programme will provide eligible park companies with targeted salary subsidies and accommodation support for returning professionals, incentivising them to leverage the immense opportunities within Hong Kong’s thriving I&T ecosystem. Together, these efforts will advance Hong Kong’s rise as a leading global I&T hub.
