Prof. Christopher CHAO, Vice President (Research and Innovation) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), in an earlier interview with eastmoney.com, said that Hong Kong’s advantage in basic research is conducive to the development of interdisciplinary, disruptive technological innovations, and the combination of this science and technology advantage with the many application scenarios in the Mainland to boost enterprise productivity can contribute to the Nation’s economic strength, bringing promising socioeconomic benefits in the future.
“Whether disruptive technologies can have an impact on society ultimately depends on how the technology changes people’s lives in practical application scenarios, and whether enterprises can apply the technologies in various scenarios to promote explosive economic growth. This is why PolyU attaches great importance to technology application scenarios,” he said.
At present, PolyU has set up innovation institutes for technology transfer in various cities in the Mainland. Last year, the University established the PolyU Academy for Interdisciplinary Research (PAIR), with 11 research institutes and 5 research centres dedicated to promoting interdisciplinary research and stimulating disruptive technological innovations to address major societal challenges.
As the largest interdisciplinary research platform in the Greater Bay Area, PAIR will continue to make unremitting efforts to promote interdisciplinary research and innovation for the benefit of the Greater Bay Area and the world.
