Mrs Lam said, "The Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation Entrepreneurship Base is one part of the package of 39 policy measures announced by the Central Government in late June 2012. It provides a conducive environment for young entrepreneurs in the two cities who would wish to start their own technology businesses. It also serves as a platform for young entrepreneurs to exchange and incubate ideas."
The Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation Entrepreneurship Base is located in the Nanshan Yungu Innovative Industry Zone, neighbouring the University Town of Shenzhen where top-tier Mainland universities like Tsinghua University, Peking University and Harbin Institute of Technology have set up subsidiaries. There would be synergy for young entrepreneurs to set up companies there. The Base, with a total area of about 2 000 square metres, offers preferential office rates, well-equipped infrastructure and professional consultation services for young entrepreneurs and companies in the Mainland and Hong Kong.
