HKTE attends entrepreneurs summit in Beijing to engage with global entrepreneurial innovation and technology talent (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Director of Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE), Mr Felix Chan, led a delegation to Beijing from August 26 to 29 to attend the HICOOL 2026 Global Entrepreneurs Summit, and engage with representatives of Chinese Mainland governments as well as entrepreneurial innovation and technology (I&T) talent from the Mainland and overseas participating in the Summit.

     At the Summit, Mr Chan exchanged views with government officials of Beijing, guests of the Summit and representatives of participating organisations. He also delivered keynote speeches at two forums to introduce Hong Kong's unique advantage of being connected to both the Mainland and the world under the "one country, two systems" principle, the I&T landscape and development opportunities in the Northern Metropolis, and measures to promote regional talent exchanges and co-operation. These efforts are able to bring together global high-calibre talent, and inject new impetus into the development of key I&T industries in Hong Kong and the country.

     HKTE organised a seminar with representatives from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Office of the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau, the Office of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in Beijing, the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency and the FinTech Association of Hong Kong, as well as an environmental, social and governance (ESG) expert to introduce Hong Kong's opportunities in talent, I&T, financial technology, ESG and the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. HKTE also operated a booth to introduce Hong Kong's talent admission schemes and talent support services.

     Mr Chan said, "HKTE's participation in the Summit aims to engage directly with entrepreneurs, research talent and innovation teams from the Mainland and overseas, and promote Hong Kong's development opportunities and various talent attraction measures, with a view to attracting them to pursue development in Hong Kong. HKTE also exchanges views with other participating Chinese Mainland cities on building platforms for attracting talent, thereby supporting Hong Kong in building an international hub for high-calibre talent."
