Hong Kong's recently held first International I&T Business Week has set off another upsurge in the I &T sector. China's innovation capacity is constantly rising, and it is a major participant in international cutting-edge innovation.

Hong Kong is indispensable in the national innovation system by virtue of its advantages of "backing the motherland and connecting the world", says Zhang Guangjun, vice minister of China's Ministry of Science and Technology. 31% of Hong Kong exhibitors indicated that they were trying or planning to explore the ASEAN market, 21% planned to explore Mainland cities in the GBA, and <>% were expanding into cities outside the Mainland.
