The government has promoted the "re-industrialization" of Hong Kong in recent years. Huang Keqiang, the chief executive of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, said on a radio program today (28th) that Hong Kong needs "re-industrialization". Instead of hiring hundreds of thousands of workers in the past, technology is used to promote industry.

However, he pointed out that Hong Kong lacks scientific and technological talents. Last year, the Career Expo had 1,100 vacancies for innovation and technology positions and received 70,000 resumes. In the end, only 200 people were hired. This reflects that there is a gap between the talents needed by the industry and the students trained by universities. .

The president of the Productivity Council, Bi Jianwen, said that in recent years, he has been committed to assisting Hong Kong businessmen in the Greater Bay Area, even as far away as Bangladesh, helping to set up factories to "re-industrialize" through high-end technologies such as the Internet of Things, robotics, and big data.

In response to the fact that Hong Kong has a small land area and expensive labor, he said that it can be dealt with by setting up smart production lines; "re-industrialization" can also benefit industries such as finance, information technology, and logistics.

Take NiRoTech, an exporter of building walkie-talkie systems, as an example. The company’s chief financial officer, Ye Zuyu, said that the company has set up production lines in the Mainland and Vietnam. The production capacity is increased by 1.5 times.

He pointed out that having an affection for Hong Kong and the government's launch of various support programs have greatly encouraged the return of Hong Kong businessmen.

Huang Keqiang admitted frankly that Hong Kong has insufficient scientific and technological talents in the past 20 years.

In terms of talents, Huang Keqiang said frankly that there was a shortage of technological talents in Hong Kong over the past 20 years. For example, last year’s Career Expo had 1,100 vacancies in innovation and technology, and received 70,000 resumes. In the end, only 200 people were hired. Students, there is a gap in technical requirements.

He also pointed out that the entry threshold only requires a university graduation and 1 to 2 years of work experience. Even if you study engineering, computer science and other subjects, you will have the opportunity; if you understand technology and have several years of experience, it will be more sought-after. He reiterated that the technology industry has a future in the world. Young people and parents seriously consider it.

Bi Jianwen added that the internship program of the Productivity Council is also popular, with more than 1,000 college students competing for 30 places, reflecting that young people know that technology is the future.

Chen Maobo pointed out that Hong Kong should cut through the Greater Bay Area and enter the fast track of internal circulation through technological innovation.
