CCTV News: At the end of 2022, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government promulgated the "Blueprint for the Development of Innovation and Technology in Hong Kong", which formulated a clear development path and systematic strategic plan for the development of innovation and science in the next 5-10 years. Today, Hong Kong's science and technology innovation layout is becoming increasingly mature and new startups are emerging. Faced with trade barriers and tariff sticks, what is the confidence of Hong Kong science and technology innovation enterprises not to fear the storm? Let’s take a look at the “Opportunity Bay Area, Opportunity Hong Kong and Macau” on May 1.

In the Hong Kong Science Park, a science and technology innovation company that has been established for only 18 months has set a new record, becoming the fastest innovative company in Hong Kong to join the ranks of unicorns.

Holding the core technology of independent research and development is the confidence of science and technology enterprises not afraid of storms.

This financial technology company is helping small and medium-sized cross-border e-commerce solve financing problems. Co-founder Huang Yongdong told reporters that many of their customers are from the mainland. Under the impact of the tariff war, my own customers have not decreased.

Huang Yongdong, co-founder and CEO of Qiaobidao, said: "We have not reduced our customers. In fact, since five or six years ago, Chinese entrepreneurs have realized that putting all eggs in one basket is not a good thing. They are not just selling them to the United States, but more in Europe, more in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Belt and Road Initiative. For the Chinese, we do not think the tariff war is a very big stimulus or blow, because we are ready in the market."

Sun Dong, Director of the Hong Kong Innovation and Technology and Industry Bureau, said: "'He is strong and he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills. He is horizontal and the moon shines on the rivers.' What does it mean? Let the wind and waves rise, I will remain calm and stand firm, eliminate all interference, and move forward according to the established policies. Then this is the strategy that Hong Kong needs to adopt in terms of innovation and science development."

As a highly international city, Hong Kong's science and technology innovation community has been successfully attracting funds, talents and technologies from different places in the past. Don’t rely too much on a single market. Adopting diversified strategies has always been the policy orientation of the SAR government. Therefore, in the face of the uncertainty of the current international trade environment, Hong Kong also has enough confidence to deal with it calmly and confidently.
