Qiu Dagen advocates giving priority to HOS housing and public housing for two-child families to promote a comprehensive population policy to attract innovation and technology talents

The "Policy Address" will be published next month. Legislative Council member for science and technology innovation, Mr Edward Yau, put forward more than 100 proposals on innovation and technology policies, including the need to formulate a comprehensive population policy, and provide overseas and mainland talents with tax incentives and housing for children to attract talents. to Hong Kong.

Qiu Dagan said that there is an extreme shortage of talents in all walks of life in Hong Kong. Hong Kong needs to have a clear population policy to encourage local births. It is recommended that families with two or more children should be given priority in allocating HOS or public housing, and establishing paid parental leave.

Advocate to imitate Shenzhen to provide financial incentives and housing facilities

Qiu Dagan mentioned that the application procedures of Hong Kong's "Technology Immigration Talent Program" are complicated, the approval time is long, and the policy is not friendly to foreign talents. Since its launch, only hundreds of people have successfully applied. In contrast, other regions provide comprehensive support for foreign talents, such as Singapore for foreign talents. Talents arrange children's education, etc.

He suggested that the SAR government refer to Shenzhen's "Overseas High-level Talent Program" ("Peacock Program") to formulate a more proactive and enterprising policy for importing talents, and provide tax incentives, housing and children's education and other packages to attract high-end talents to Hong Kong for development .

He said that in response to the housing needs of foreign talents, the government could consider renting some of the vacant civil servants and disciplined service quarters to high-end talents coming to Hong Kong for development with preferential rent, and renovate some community isolation facilities directly managed by the government into "Technology Talent Apartment".

Promoting relaxation of "0+0" quarantine to host large-scale international innovation and technology expo

Qiu Dagan suggested that the government should reshape Hong Kong's innovation and technology brand as soon as possible and hold large-scale international innovation and technology expositions or carnivals.

He also suggested to set up a “Technology Innovation Edition M” brand system with reference to the “M” brand system of large-scale sports events to provide subsidies to the organizers of large-scale innovation and technology events.

When asked whether the large-scale international innovation and technology expo can be held under the "0+3" quarantine arrangement, Qiu Dagan said that "0+3" is not very attractive for overseas people to come to Hong Kong to participate in the event. If the number of participants is not large, the promotion will be weakened. The results are believed to be better held under the "0+0" quarantine arrangement, and we hope to achieve this as soon as possible.
