Rather than chase new instruments, the city is refining the ecosystem that powers them – upgrading infrastructure, securing liquidity, and drawing in capital.
On the mainland, a strong focus on research, and entrepreneurial spirit within academia have driven the country’s success as a breeding ground for innovation. In Hong Kong, technology development has been sluggish and entrepreneurship is less encouraged among university researchers. This must change.
Hong Kong has defied international doomsayers and gone from strength to strength as its economic development has become more aligned with mainland China’s. China’s economic growth has helped boost Hong Kong’s standing as a financial hub, drawing in business and talent from around the world.
