Strong interest in innovation and technology fund briefing

More than 180 representatives from around 130 local and overseas companies participated in the briefing session on the Innovation and Technology Industry-Oriented Fund on Monday.

The event, organized by the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau along with the Technology Commission, received a warm response as industry representatives shared their views and suggestions.

This initiative follows Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu's proposal to establish a HK$10 billion fund aimed at systematically building the innovation and technology ecosystem.

"The fund marks the government's innovative approach to investing in the innovation and technology industry, fully leveraging market forces to amplify and focus investments on designated strategic industries," the bureau said.

Interested parties are encouraged to complete and return the expression of interest documents by March 3.
