In his keynote speech at the Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit, he said there are still enormous investment opportunities in the territory despite geopolitical challenges.
Chan said the SAR continues to attract talent and nurture startups to drive innovation and technology.
“Our government has been the biggest investor in this area, investing over HK$200 billion to build, consolidate, and enrich the innovation and technology ecosystem in recent years,” he said.
“Despite the challenges we face not least the geopolitical situation, the innovation and technology ecosystem in Hong Kong has grown more vibrant with exciting achievements in nurturing startups, attracting enterprises and talents, and realising the transformation of R&D outcomes.”
Chan also noted that Hong Kong is at the forefront of green and sustainable finance.
“We have a vibrant green-tech landscape with strong basic research and entrepreneurial spirit. We are already home to hundreds of green-tech companies. Some of which are already selling their solutions across different parts of the world,” he said.
“With the respective strengths of Hong Kong and sister cities in the Greater Bay Area, we will rise as an international green tech and green [finance] centre, creating a complete financial and industry chain that will drive global green transition.”
