Sing Chan CEO of Innobation Co. Ltd, Director of Unispace I wish Hong Kong will have a more prosperous future. Ten years ago when I came to the mainland to seek for opportunities, Shenzhen and Hong Kong was just starting enhance their cooperation. I was lucky to embrace such a great opportunity in my youth time and then had a rapid growth with it. I achieved my dream and have built my career in Shenzhen. I hope to make use of my past experience to make contribution to my Hong Kong peers and help Hong Kong young people to realize their dreams here. Together we’ll build a happier Hong Kong. Lam Ki-ki Hong Kong Entrepreneur in Qianhai “Twenty-five years ago, when the national flag was raised at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, the deep love for the motherland was also raised from the bottom of my heart. In 2019, I set up a trading company in Shenzhen to tap the Chinese mainland market. Over the years since Hong Kong’s return to the motherland, I have deeply felt the close ties between the mainland and Hong Kong, and benefited from various policies rolled out by the Hong Kong and Shenzhen governments. Shenzhen and Hong Kong’s active commercial and cultural exchanges are also advantageous to both the general public and entrepreneurs. I firmly believe both Hong Kong and the motherland will embrace an even brighter future!” Hui Kit-ying Hong Kong Entrepreneur in Qianhai “I was born in 1984, the year when the Joint Declaration of the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the Question of Hong Kong was signed. My growth is destined to be a process of witnessing and participating in the return of Hong Kong to the motherland and the rapid economic development of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. A large number of Hong Kong people are unobtrusively contributing to the development of the motherland, and I moved to Shenzhen to start my own business several years ago and tap the great potential of the Greater Bay Area. Although I’m living in Shenzhen, I have always been concerned about everything in Hong Kong. I wish continuous prosperity and more miracles for Hong Kong.” Cheng Ka-wai Hong Kong Entrepreneur in Qianhai “Both Hong Kong and the mainland have undergone tremendous changes over the past 25 years. And for me, I’ve turned into an entrepreneur in Shenzhen from a bank clerk in Hong Kong. The five years’ entrepreneurial experience in Shenzhen has made me fit in the local environment and fall in love with life on the mainland. The mainland’s financial and scientific industries are striving and maturing, and I hope all entrepreneurs working in various industries can have better development opportunities. I wish Hong Kong to create more amazing development stories after 25 years of its return to the motherland.” Allen Wong Vice president of Hong Kong Software Industry Association I’ve worked in Hong Kong’s science and technology industry for several years. I think it is time to generate innovation and make changes. Hong Kong needs to innovate to move forward to embrace advanced technology. I’d like to send my wishes to the new SAR Government. Hopefully they can bring more changes and progress to Hong Kong society, learn from the mainland to embrace the changes made by technology applications, and expand the development scope for Hong Kong people.
