Hong Kong will launch its five-year plan to align with the national blueprint and better serve national development by contributing to the modern industrial system, helping mainland enterprises to “go global” and attracting top talents, said Financial Secretary Chan Mo-po.
Chan noted that Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu will lead a cross-bureau, cross-departmental task force to proactively align the city with the 15th Five-Year Plan and formulate the city’s own plan.
“With the synergy between a capable government and an efficient market, we aim at driving high-quality, high value-added and diversified economic growth,” he said.
Chan said that Hong Kong aims to enhance the national modern industrial systems and boost scientific and technological self-reliance in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), health tech, fintech, new materials, and renewable energy.
Hong Kong will also drive “Finance+” to capitalize on the financial sector to support the real economy and industries with competitive edge.
The government will also enhance Hong Kong’s role as a “super connector” and “super value-adder” to help mainland firms “go global.”
Chan emphasized that the city is dedicated to attracting high-caliber talent, particularly experts in scientific research, while also nurturing local talent to align with the nation’s education, technology, and talent integrated development.
