The Greater Bay Area Outline Development plan has put forward the integration of Hong Kong, Macao and the nine mainland cities to optimise the merits of each location. In the future, we will be more proactive in assisting members in venturing into the mainland China market, making recommendations to the Hong Kong government and relevant authorities to facilitate Hong Kong manufacturers to develop across the Greater Bay Area with a streamlined flow of people, goods, funds and information. In parallel, manufacturers have started to deploy the “China+1” strategy and gradually formed the strategic coordination of Hong Kong as headquarters, Mainland China as the industrialisation base and domestic sales, and Southeast Asia as the mass production base and export. FHKI will continue to advocate for policies to create favourable conditions for Hong Kong manufacturers to enter the ASEAN market, with the vision of becoming the strategic centre of the regional industrial value chain in Asia. Revitalising Industries through Local Advanced Manufacturing The momentum for Hong Kong to develop modern industries has never been stronger in recent years. While pursuing innovation and technology advancement, various sectors have come to realise the pivotal role of manufacturing to turn R&D achievements and knowledge into sustained economic value. One of the major goals in my two-year term is to take forward the transformation of Hong Kong industries towards advanced manufacturing. The upgrade of traditional manufacturing activities and the creation of new high value- added sectors will further translate Hong Kong's R&D capabilities into industrial applications to foster long-term competitiveness. We will prioritise advanced electronics, food technology and food processing, recycling and environmental industry and biotechnology industry, assisting industrialists in setting up advanced manufacturing production lines locally to harness Hong Kong's strong R&D capabilities and favourable policy support in these fields. The rejuvenation of Hong Kong industries will further foster the development of producer services, such as R&D, design and certification, and shape a prospective career path in the modern manufacturing sector to attract young talents to join our force. As the most trusted partner of Hong Kong's industrialists, FHKI vows to work in full swing to pave the way for our corporate members in upgrading and transforming business, adopting advanced manufacturing, expanding towards the Greater Bay Area and ASEAN economies, and taking the “Made by Hong Kong” label to the next level. I welcome all industry players to join FHKI to chart new development paths together with like-minded industrialists in our way towards the new industrial era of Hong Kong. 8-10/2021 | 7
