'Integration With GBA Key To Fintech Success'

At the start of the month, President Xi Jinping reminded Hong Kong about the importance of creating more business opportunities for the city’s young talent, especially by leveraging on the SAR’s ever-increasing ties with the mainland.

In his speech marking the SAR’s 25th birthday, the president also praised the city’s burgeoning innovation and technology sector, and underlined his commitment to the industry with a rare visit to our own Science Park.

In the past few years, many young entrepreneurs have already been taking advantage of Hong Kong’s growing integration with the Greater Bay Area by expanding their operations on both sides of the border.

Start-up founders Calvin Cheng and Kelvin Lei, who have walked two different paths to success while relying on Hong Kong’s technical know-how and coupling them with the opportunities offered in the GBA, told RTHK they are confident that Hong Kong has everything it needs to fulfill its potential to grow into an international tech and innovation centre.
