He said, “Technological advancement, well-established system, intellectual property protection, trade contracts, fair trials and appropriate regulations are essential for the globalisation of the supply chain. Apart from investing in the hardware facilities, Hong Kong should build up intangible assets such as knowledge, research achievements and human capital to promote the industrial transformation. I believe Hong Kong is still enjoying competitive brand image and it possesses very favourable conditions to revitalise industries. It is now the opportune time for Hong Kong manufacturers to develop innovation-driven industries across the Greater Bay Area and nearby regions.” 王于漸教授在席上分享對香港 產業轉型的觀點，他指出： 「科技發展、完善體制、知識 產權、貿易合約、公平裁決以 及恰當的監管力度為產業鏈全 球化的基礎。除了硬件上的配 合，香港應建立更多的無形資 本，如知識、科研結果、人才 等，配合產業轉型。我相信香 港的品牌仍然有一定的優勢， 亦備有足夠的條件『工業再出 發』，在大灣區及周邊地區推 動並發展創新的產業。」 8-10/2021 | 101
