Appointment of Board of Directors of Hung Shui Kiu Industry Park Company Limited
********************************************************************************
The five official directors are the Secretary for Development; the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury; the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development; the Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry; and the Secretary for Transport and Logistics. The five non-official directors are Dr Wingco Lo Kam-wing, Mr Sunny Tan, Mr Wai Chi-sing, Mr Albert Wong Hak-keung and Mr Kenneth Wong Kin-wah.
The Secretary for Development, Ms Bernadette Linn, said, "The National 15th Five-Year Plan explicitly backs Hong Kong in accelerating the development of the Northern Metropolis (NM), and the development of the NM will also be an important component in Hong Kong's first five-year plan. At present, the development of the NM has entered a critical phase for substantive construction and bringing in enterprises. Establishing wholly government-owned companies is one of the tools for the Government to drive industry development in the NM through diversified approaches, and the Hung Shui Kiu Industry Park Company is among those that will be responsible for the development and operation of the around 23-hectare industry sites."
She continued, "Mr Jeffrey Lam, who will soon take up the post of the Chairperson of the BoD of the Hung Shui Kiu Industry Park Company, is a veteran industrialist. He not only possesses extensive experience in public service and administrative management, but also has an extensive network in the industrial and commercial sectors. He will certainly be able to effectively lead the Company in attracting high-value-added manufacturers to establish a foothold in Hung Shui Kiu, and bringing in technology, employment opportunities and economic output. The other non-official directors being appointed have backgrounds and experience in new industries, innovation and technology, engineering and finance, etc, and can help the Company to draw on expertise from outside the Government. The Government will also participate directly in the major decisions of the Company through the official directors. I firmly believe that, with Mr Lam's leadership as well as the advice and insights of the other directors, the Hung Shui Kiu Industry Park Company will be able to formulate a forward-looking development positioning and strategy, whilst better integrating market forces with the adoption of public-private partnerships, so as to lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the Industry Park."
Established in January 2026, the Hung Shui Kiu Industry Park Company is wholly owned by the Government through the Financial Secretary Incorporated. The Executive Council has approved a land grant of the 23-hectare industry sites to the Company at a nominal land premium. The Hung Shui Kiu Industry Park Company will capitalise on the locational advantage of Hung Shui Kiu for its good transport network and proximity to Qianhai in Shenzhen to drive the development of industries with a competitive edge, such as high value-added or smart production (e.g. pharmaceutical manufacturing and food processing) and advanced construction; and also provide one-stop high value-added professional support services (such as testing and certification, talent scouting and staff training, business matching and networking services, and equipment rental). To facilitate the Company to develop a diverse range of industries and supporting facilities, the rezoning procedures are underway to maximise land use flexibility. This will cover the production stages of various suitable industries, and accommodate supporting facilities including testing and certification, convention and exhibition facilities, talent accommodation, training venues, etc. The DEVB will soon seek the approval of the Legislative Council on the equity injection of $10 billion to the Company, and complete the recruitment exercise of the Chief Executive Officer as soon as possible, such that the Company will commence operation mid-year.
