To assist young people in grasping the development opportunities of the GBA, the HKSAR Government has introduced various schemes and measures. For entrepreneurship, the HKSAR Government has rolled out the Funding Scheme for Youth Entrepreneurship in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Funding Scheme for Experiential Programmes at Innovation and Entrepreneurial Bases under the Youth Development Fund, among others, with a view to encouraging Hong Kong young people with ambition and creativity to start and develop their businesses in the Mainland cities of the GBA, thereby realising their aspirations."
Ms Chan added that the Promotion Centre was set up by the HKSAR Government to enhance support for Hong Kong residents and enterprises in the Mainland cities of the GBA. She encouraged Hong Kong young people who are interested in developing careers in the GBA to actively participate in the activities organise by the Promotion Centre to foster mutual exchange and inspire more innovative ideas.
