The Director of Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE), Mr Felix Chan, led a delegation to visit Hangzhou and Ningbo from May 7 to 9 to attract local talent to pursue their careers in Hong Kong, and to deepen talent collaboration between Hong Kong and the two cities.

     During the visit, the HKTE delegation, together with representatives from the Hong Kong Talent Entrepreneurs Association and several Hong Kong enterprises, toured the headquarters of Alibaba Group in Hangzhou to learn about the latest developments in the group's cutting-edge technologies. The delegation later met with senior officials of Zhejiang University and held two briefing sessions, one for Zhejiang University students and alumni and the other for local young professionals and entrepreneurs, to introduce to them Hong Kong's unique advantages and industrial opportunities, understand their career aspirations, and promote talent exchanges between Hong Kong and the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) Region. 

     The delegation then travelled to Ningbo to take part in a talent salon organised by the Ningbo Hongkong Fellowship Association, engaging in dialogue with local professionals and entrepreneurs to encourage quality talent to relocate to Hong Kong.

     Mr Chan said, "Hangzhou has a thriving artificial intelligence industry and start-up ecosystem, while Ningbo is a key national maritime hub and the economic centre of the southern YRD Region. In addition to visiting Zhejiang University, this visit has successfully connected us with young talent and entrepreneurs with diverse professional backgrounds in Hangzhou and Ningbo. Our goal is to attract them to pursue their development in Hong Kong, thereby injecting new impetus into the city's high-quality development."
