With the Greater Bay Area (GBA) emerging as a powerhouse for innovation and growth, a top advisor is calling on Hong Kong’s youth to ride the wave of this economic revolution.
From Driver to Tycoon: A Story of Ambition
CPPCC National Committee member Tam Kam-kau shared his rags-to-riches journey during a recent interview, revealing how he went from being a driver in Guangdong in the 1970s to building a business empire spanning restaurants, farms, and factories. \"Opportunities are like buses—if you miss one, another will come, but you’ve got to be ready to hop on,\" he quipped.
Gen-Z Innovators Making Moves
Tam highlighted a trendsetting Hong Kong youth who launched a hybrid farm in Dongguan post-graduation, blending eco-tourism and education. Thanks to GBA policies, the venture now attracts urban millennials craving farm-to-table experiences.
Why the GBA is a Game-Changer
Home to 86 million residents (bigger than Germany’s population!)
$1.8 trillion GDP—outpacing South Korea and Australia
Connected by futuristic infrastructure like the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge
Tam urged: \"This isn’t just about jobs—it’s about writing Hong Kong’s next chapter alongside the mainland.\"
