Prof. Christopher CHAO, Vice President (Research and Innovation) of PolyU, at the inaugural Qianhai disruptive technology innovation forum held earlier on 30 June 2023 in Qianhai, Shenzhen, shared with China Media Group’s channel, “Radio The Greater Bay”, his views on Hong Kong higher education’s research and development in supporting national developments.

 

Prof. Chao expressed that with Hong Kong’s very strong research capabilities, as well as the abundant space, large population and rich application scenarios in the Mainland, Hong Kong and the Mainland can collaborate closely to achieve a win-win situation. He shared that PolyU has led some research teams to places in the Mainland to support the industry development based on actual conditions. “The most effective way to enhance a region’s economic strength through scientific research is to get to know the region, understand its development needs, and then bring our relevant research teams there,” he said.

 

Prof. Chao hoped to see more PolyU’s technology transfer in data science or fields related to digital economy such as financial technology and information technology in the Mainland. He said, “I think digital economy or financial technology should be particularly suitable for Qianhai, and we also have the research strengths to achieve mutual benefit here.”
