Prof. Christopher CHAO, PolyU’s Vice President (Research and Innovation) and PReCIT Director analyzed the contributing factors to the Nation’s progress in its innovation capability in an exclusive interview with am730, amid the news that China has moved up to 11th place in the 2022 Global Innovation Index (GII) published by the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Prof. CHAO attributed the Nation’s success in part to the growing financial commitment by the government to researchers and research institutions. He also recommends HKSAR Government beef up its investment in Hong Kong R&D Centres so that they can effectively connect universities and industries in the I&T value chain.
