Over the past week, I visited Dalian and Xi'an. Joining me for all or part of the trip were representatives from the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES), the Hong Kong Investment Corporation Limited, the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, Invest Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Science Park, Cyberport, and the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park, along with a number of local and overseas innovation and technology (I&T) enterprises that these organisations have nurtured or helped attract.
Last week, I travelled to Shanghai and Nanjing. Besides attending the Lujiazui Forum, I met with representatives from frontier technology enterprises and toured a number of companies specialising in artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, biotechnology, the low-altitude economy, and other emerging fields. This series of visits and exchanges gave me fresh insights and prompted some new reflections.
As the country embarks on the 15th Five-Year Plan, we stand at a pivotal moment in the new era of artificial intelligence (AI). How Hong Kong seizes this opportunity, plays to its strengths, serves the nation's needs and harnesses that momentum for its own development, will be decisive for its future. With that in mind, we will launch the public consultation tomorrow for Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan.
