I&T Chief Visits San Francisco
Secretary for Innovation & Technology Nicholas Yang visited San Francisco to promote the opportunities brought by the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Speaking at a luncheon in the city, Mr Yang said the bay area development has a strong focus on innovation and technology and Hong Kong will play a key role in it.
He encouraged technology enterprises in the US to leverage on the opportunities brought about by the bay area development to achieve a win-win outcome.

He also toured Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Innovation's JLABS to learn more about its incubation programme in accelerating healthcare innovation.
