Entrusted with important functions in the exploration of industrial
development, cross-border co-operation, policy innovations, etc.,
the Loop is highly significant as an example of cross-border
collaboration in the GBA. We will dedicate Chapter 3 and
Chapter 4 to discuss the significance of the Loop to HK-SZ
co-operation and regional development, as well as how the Loop
can serve as the pivot that drives forward HK-SZ collaboration in
the four major areas of drugs and vaccines, genetic testing and
therapies, advanced medical devices and application of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) to biotechnology.
In Chapter 5 and Chapter 6, the report will put forward a total
of seven major recommendations encompassing 19 proposals
for the consideration of the governments of Hong Kong and
Shenzhen and the Central Government. We believe that these
recommendations can help overcome barriers hampering HK-SZ
collaboration and foster the complementary co-operation of the
two cities. With competitive edges in advanced research and
industrial development, such co-operation can create engines of
growth for the biotech industry in the GBA, and in turn promote
biotechnological innovations at the cutting edge of the global
scientific community.
