Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) hosted a themed seminar on innovation and technology (I&T) this afternoon (May 23) to delve into development opportunities for I&T talent in Hong Kong and support them to settle in the city.
At the seminar, a speaker from the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation outlined the career opportunities of starting a business or joining I&T enterprises in Hong Kong. In addition, two I&T talents shared with incoming talent about the talent demand of the Hong Kong Quantum AI Lab and relevant projects, as well as the experience of settling in an overseas technology firm within the Hong Kong Science Park respectively.
The Government conducted follow-up surveys in November 2023 with persons who had arrived in Hong Kong for more than six months with Top Talent Pass Scheme visas. The survey results showed that 54 per cent of the incoming talent had been in employment and, among them, 18 per cent took up jobs in I&T/information and communication technology services. The Government will continue to attract tech talent, at home and abroad, through measures such as the Technology Talent Admission Scheme and the Talent List.
HKTE has held online and physical seminars or workshops from March 2024 in collaboration with working partners on a wide range of topics, such as job seeking, business start-ups, education, accommodation, household knowledge and Cantonese learning. Talent who have arrived in Hong Kong may obtain event details from HKTE social media or by contacting HKTE via email (hkte@hkengage.gov.hk).
