Why Shenzhen? A Hong Kong Founder’s Bold Move Into the Greater Bay Area
As Hong Kong celebrates the 27th anniversary of its return to China, one entrepreneur’s story highlights the dynamic synergy reshaping the region. 🌟 CGTN’s Enoch Wong sat down with a Hong Kong-based founder who chose Shenzhen on the Chinese mainland for his first office beyond the city – and the reasons are all about tomorrow’s opportunities.
🔑 ‘Innovation Without Borders’: The entrepreneur praised Shenzhen’s tech-driven ecosystem, calling it a “launchpad for big ideas.” With the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area accelerating integration, he sees Shenzhen as a bridge connecting talent, resources, and cutting-edge R&D. 💡 “Young people in Hong Kong need to look north,” he said, emphasizing cross-border collaboration.
🚀 Youth + Nation = Power: His message to peers? “Embrace the national development blueprint.” From AI startups to green energy ventures, he believes the mainland’s vast market and supportive policies offer unmatched potential. 📈 “This isn’t just business – it’s about building a shared future,” he added, nodding to the Greater Bay Area’s role as a global innovation hub.
🌐 The Takeaway: With over 80,000 Hong Kong-owned businesses already in the Greater Bay Area, this founder’s leap into Shenzhen mirrors a growing trend. As he put it: “When Hong Kong’s hustle meets the mainland’s scale, magic happens.” ✨
