The Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Professor Sun Dong, welcomed the reappointment of Mr Tan as the Chairman of the HKPC. Professor Sun said, "Under Mr Tan's sterling leadership over the past two years, the HKPC has provided staunch support for the Government's innovation and technology policies and aligned its work closely with the National 15th Five-Year Plan in driving new industrialisation. He led the HKPC in supporting the Government's direction of promoting the integration and application of AI across various industries. He also spearheaded the HKPC in establishing 'The Cradle - Going Global Service Centre' to support enterprises in leveraging Hong Kong's international advantages to expand into global markets. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Mr Tan to promote Hong Kong's new industrialisation and advanced manufacturing, and nurture more innovation and technology talent."
