Special cooperation platforms to develop in Greater Bay Area

Special cooperation platforms are supported to be developed among nine cities of the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong, and Macao, according to the outline development plan of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The nine cities will take full use of their respective advantages and jointly build a variety of cooperation parks with Hong Kong and Macao, in a bid to expand scale and scope in economic cooperation for mutually beneficial results.

The construction of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park in Lo Ma Chau Loop and the adjacent Shenzhen Technology and Innovation Park will be supported by creating an international commercial environment conducive to technological innovation.
