In this year's government work report, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area was mentioned twice. The report proposes the construction of an international science and technology innovation center in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, creating a world-class source of scientific and technological innovation, and supporting the development of a world-class urban agglomeration in the Greater Bay Area. Two 'world-class' goals outline a new blueprint. As one of the regions in China with a high degree of openness and strong economic vitality, how the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area can accelerate in the coordinated development of technological innovation and urban agglomerations has become a hot topic of discussion among representatives and committee members during the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Jin Li, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Vice President of Southern University of Science and Technology, believes that the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has the foundation to challenge the world's top scientific and technological innovation highland, but still needs to focus on original innovation. He stated that the Greater Bay Area has had significant advantages in technology application in the past, but there is still room for improvement in basic research. In the future, we can rely on platforms such as Guangming Science City and Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone to increase investment in "zero to one" original innovation and promote key core technology research and development. Xian Handi, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of the Hong Kong Internet Professional Association, pays attention to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. In his view, the Greater Bay Area not only needs to achieve breakthroughs in basic research from 0 to 1, but also needs to enhance its ability to transform achievements from 1 to 10. He introduced that the Hong Kong Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Center has been built and put into use, which can provide computing power support for research institutions, universities, and enterprises. Gathering international talents to provide sustained driving force for innovation and development, and enhancing innovation capabilities cannot be achieved without the support of talents and research platforms. Zhu Yeyu, a National People's Congress representative and President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, stated that Hong Kong has multiple world-class universities and a highly internationalized educational environment. The planned university town in the northern metropolitan area of Hong Kong is expected to become an important platform for gathering top international universities and research talents, providing assistance for the innovative development of the Greater Bay Area. He Runsheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Vice Chairman of the Legislative Council of the Macao Special Administrative Region, pointed out that although Macao is not large in area, it has 10 universities and 4 national key laboratories. By forming a laboratory alliance, it can participate in major national scientific and technological breakthroughs and provide support for the Greater Bay Area's scientific and technological innovation system. Chen Yong, a National People's Congress representative and Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, stated that the Greater Bay Area has unique advantages in talent gathering. By strengthening communication and cooperation, talents can better serve the country's scientific and technological innovation. Strengthening regional collaboration unleashes innovative momentum in institutional advantages. Chen Xiaofeng, a National People's Congress representative and Hong Kong SAR Legislative Council member, believes that the most unique advantage of the Greater Bay Area lies in the institutional environment formed under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework. The interface between the mainland industrial system and international rules intersects here, providing the Greater Bay Area with the conditions to gather global scientific and technological innovation resources and promote their transformation. Lin Zhiying, a National People's Congress representative and Vice President of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Cooperation Promotion Association, stated that the Greater Bay Area, Beijing Tianjin Hebei, and the Yangtze River Delta each have their own advantages in industrial structure and development priorities. Through differentiated development and collaborative cooperation, the three major urban agglomerations are expected to form synergy in different fields, jointly enhancing China's influence in global technological competition. Technological innovation is opening up new development space for the cultural industry. ”Cui Shiping, National People's Congress representative and President of the Macao Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology, stated. He suggested setting up cultural and technological cross laboratories and application demonstration bases, promoting the application of artificial intelligence and digital technology in the cultural field, and leveraging Macau's platform role in international cultural exchanges. Driven by both the "International Science and Technology Innovation Center" and the "World Class Urban Agglomeration", the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is moving towards a more open and collaborative innovation highland with global influence.
