Focus on Greater Bay Area's innovation ability from multiple angles

Breakthrough and innovation is the theme of Greater Bay Area Summit Forum and the most concerned topic in Greater Bay Area at present.

Speaking at the forum, Xu said, "The SAR government will continue to consolidate and make good use of the advantages of international financial centers, help build and promote the development of the local financial industry."

Wang Zhongmin analyzed Greater Bay Area's innovative logic and innovative resultant force from the perspectives of population, industry and finance. He said that researchers in Greater Bay Area come from all over the country, even from all over the world, forming an open-source talent pool. The relatively young and diverse population structure breeds vigorous innovation and entrepreneurship, and forms a sense of regional entrepreneurship that embraces all kinds of differences. As a result, many enterprises in the Bay Area have grown into "towering trees" with global competitiveness, become demanders in the industrial chain, stimulate "chain reaction", and finally form huge industrial clusters.

Wu put forward four suggestions for innovation in the Bay Area: anchoring the goal orientation and building a scientific and technological innovation highland with global influence with high standards; Strengthen coordination and cooperation to improve the development level of science and technology industry in Bay Area urban agglomeration; Highlight the main body of enterprises and enhance the core competitiveness of Greater Bay Area's innovative economy; Stimulate the platform effect and make the innovative economy a powerful link for Hong Kong and Macao to better integrate into the overall situation of national development.

When talking about the development of Hong Kong in recent years, Ni said that Hong Kong and Shenzhen are two adjacent central cities, and the interactive innovation of the two cities has always been expected by everyone. Shenzhen Innovation Investment Group will optimize the development of industrial clusters through R&D and innovation, and give full play to the contribution of venture capitalists to their cities.

Huang Keqiang, CEO of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, said that Hong Kong has strong scientific research strength and good innovation momentum. Science Park promotes the coordinated development of the government and Industry-University-Research by introducing strategic investment, cultivating talents and establishing scientific research infrastructure for enterprises.

Chen Ximing, chairman of the Hong Kong Cyberport, said at the forum that Greater Bay Area's construction and technological innovation are one of the driving forces for development. As one of the main entrepreneurial cultivation bases in Greater Bay Area, Cyberport will give full play to its own advantages, introduce innovative talents, enterprises, technology and capital for Hong Kong, and promote the integrated development of high technology and financial industry.

Lin Yuandong, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank Greater Bay Area, said at the forum that on the basis of strong policy support for Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's development, there is a huge demand for banking services and wealth management in the region. The focus of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's future development is to promote cross-border financial cooperation and talent exchange between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao on the basis of innovation, and to promote high-quality economic development.

Combining industry and finance to build the competitiveness of the Bay Area

At the Bay Area Forum on Science, Technology and Industrial Innovation, representatives of many manufacturing enterprises and industry experts exchanged views on some issues of new industrialization.

"We are based in Shenzhen, a region with the strongest scientific and technological innovation and the fastest manufacturing development in the country and the world, and have formed an effective linkage with the introduction of scientific and technological talents in Hong Kong, which has brought blessings to our vigorous development." Sun Zhongliang, chairman and general manager of Huada Beidou, said.

Wang Guangneng, general manager of Han's robot and professor of industry at South University of Science and Technology, China Robotics Research Institute, said that "machine substitution" will go deep into non-industrial scenes. At present, the problems of aging and labor shortage are becoming more and more obvious, and practitioners are exploring the possibility of applying robots to pension, medical care, catering and logistics.

In terms of finance, technology and finance and green finance are also providing impetus for the "integration of industry and finance" in the Bay Area. "All financial institutions should carry out' multi-round baton cooperation' at different stages of development of science and technology enterprises to fully serve enterprises in the initial stage, growth stage and maturity stage." Yang Wei, general manager of China Bank (60 1988) Shenzhen Branch, introduced that there are over 65,438+10,000 high-tech enterprises in Shenzhen, 2 1 10,000 state-level high-tech enterprises and 4,000 provincial-level specialized and special new enterprises, which are located in "20+8" key industrial clusters.

"Shenzhen Construction Bank serves technology enterprises through two main lines, one is' sunshine' and the other is precise focus." Gao _, deputy general manager of China Construction Bank (60 1939) Shenzhen Branch Kechuang Sub-branch (Kechuang Enterprise Management Center), said.

In terms of how enterprises can promote financial innovation, He Fei, deputy general manager of Tiqi Street and general manager of Tiqi Pilotage, said that financial enterprises should outline the whole picture of innovative enterprises in the Bay Area in more detail through technology platforms, artificial intelligence analysis and big data accumulation, so as to make their outlines clearer, thus promoting more enterprises to obtain financial services and accelerating the integration of industry and finance.

Seize the opportunity of financial technology and green finance development

"When you mention Hong Kong, you will talk about finance." Han Liang, head of financial technology at InvestHK, said frankly. As an international financial center, Hong Kong has always attracted the attention of the whole world in terms of the size, liquidity and policy support of the fund pool. "When you talk about Shenzhen, you will talk about science and technology," Han Liang added. "(These two cities) have inherent advantages and everyone can complement each other."

"We have always known that data and artificial intelligence are very important for the development of financial technology, so in the past two years, we have been communicating with data platforms and banks to (explore) how to use artificial intelligence and data analysis to help SMEs obtain loans (financing)." Zhou, chief financial technology director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, said at the forum.

Lin Jing District, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Financial Development Council, said that Hong Kong's huge pool of funds and its role as a "super contact" will help it build a sustainable financial center in Asia.

Guan Zihong, CEO of Harvest International Asset Management Company, said that ESG investment has gradually become the mainstream. In Europe, for example, fund products without certain ESG content may be gradually abandoned by investors after three to five years.
