Policy Address

36.         The Working Group on Manufacturing Industries, Innovative Technology, and Cultural and Creative Industries under the EDC is actively studying different topics regarding the future development of creative industries as well as innovation and technology industries in Hong Kong.  These topics include incubating start-up companies, assisting them in expanding markets, building brands, nurturing talent, and providing infrastructural support.  The Working Group will make concrete recommendations after studies and discussions.

37.         I have decided to re-initiate the setting up of an Innovation and Technology Bureau and work with various sectors to formulate the objectives and policies for the development of innovation and technology in Hong Kong.  I earnestly hope that it will receive support from this Council.
