Hong Kong City: Hong Kong's scientific research innovation in the Greater Bay Area is far behind, and must strengthen talent training
The research report published by the City University of Hong Kong today (21st) pointed out that in the ranking of scientific research and innovation in the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong is far less than Guangzhou and Shenzhen in terms of scientific and technological talents, capital investment, and invention patents;It is an important driving force for future economic development.
