The Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Professor Sun Dong, chaired the second meeting of the Committee on Innovation, Technology and Industry Development (CITID) this afternoon (August 7).
At the meeting, members were briefed on the development of the San Tin Technopole, including the new sites for innovation and technology (I&T) use in the San Tin area and the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park at the Loop, and shared their insights and suggestions on relevant matters.
Moreover, in conducting the new round of manpower projection, representatives of the Labour and Welfare Bureau also listened to members' views on the manpower outlook and skill demands of the I&T industry in future.
Professor Sun said, "Infrastructure and talent are essential elements in driving I&T development. The Government is forging ahead with the development of the San Tin Technopole in the Northern Metropolis to provide space for the I&T industry and push forward the economy towards high-quality development. On talent, the new round of manpower projection can help the Government formulate appropriate talent policies in future. We will continue to strengthen our efforts in nurturing, attracting and retaining talent to support the development of I&T in Hong Kong."
Established on March 3, 2023, the CITID advises the Government on the directions and strategies as set out in the Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Development Blueprint on promoting development of I&T in Hong Kong, and enhances co-operation among stakeholders.
