Innovation and Technology Industries

43.         We attach great importance to the significant contribution of innovation and technology to the development of the economy and industries. There are a number of drivers for technological innovation in Hong Kong, including our rule of law, internationally acclaimed universities and sound intellectual property rights protection. The Government will focus on the development of the highly competitive sectors of the innovation and technology industries in light of Hong Kong's strengths. We will provide software and hardware support; foster co-operation among the Government, industry, academia and research sectors; forge closer collaboration with the Mainland; and inject additional resources when necessary. All these will be conducive to the commercialisation of research and development results, which will in turn give impetus to the development of the industries.
