Past Activity

The Longgang Digital Creative Corridor in Shenzhen has been honoured as a “National-Level Cultural Industry Demonstration Park,” establishing a new cultural tourism landmark in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area through immersive technological innovation scenarios. As a pivotal hub along the Shenzhen-Hong Kong innovation axis, the corridor pioneered the “Hong Kong-Longgang Sci-Tech Cultural Experience Belt,” featuring 12 themed scenes, including a digital twin exhibition hall, a cross-border maker lab, and an AI art workshop, forming an innovation ecosystem for young entrepreneurs from both Shenzhen and Hong Kong.Visitors can witness real-time cross-border content creation in 5G+8K film production at the Greater Bay Area Youth Maker Market. The corridor also features a specially designed “Policy Innovation Experience Hall,” which uses interactive installations derived from 25 research findings across seven key areas by the Longgang District CPPCC, allowing the public to engage hands-on with a virtual policy sandbox and observe the synergistic transformation of “sci-tech + industry”. This project is the first to introduce a “Visualized Innovation Policy” navigation system, transforming mechanisms like joint Shenzhen-Hong Kong R&D subsidies and cross-border intellectual property protection into AR interactive games. Visitors can witness Longgang’s intelligent manufacturing base’s industrial transformation along a 3.2-kilometre holographic projection corridor.This nationally certified innovation corridor is rapidly evolving—adding three new sci-tech and art-integrated scenarios each month—toward becoming the first integrated cultural-tech tourism complex in the Greater Bay Area that unites government, industry, academia, research, and application. It is expected to welcome over 2 million innovation experience visitors annually, establishing itself as a cultural landmark showcasing a uniquely Chinese modernisation innovation paradigm.

In 2024, China’s “Two Sessions” (National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference) included the low-altitude economy in the Government Work Report for the first time, officially recognising it as a strategic emerging industry. To help Hong Kong youth seize this new national development opportunity, the Hong Kong Exporters’ Association has specially organised a Greater Bay Area Low-Altitude Economy Site Visit Program.As the country vigorously promotes the development of the low-altitude economy, Guangdong Province—leveraging Shenzhen’s role as an innovation engine—has become a national model in areas such as drone R&D, airspace management systems, and the expansion of application scenarios. As a core city of the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong not only possesses world-class telecommunications infrastructure but also holds unique advantages across the low-altitude industry chain, including technology R&D (upstream), system integration (midstream), and cross-border logistics applications (downstream). The Hong Kong SAR Government is actively reserving dedicated space for take-off and landing facilities, data centres, and regulatory platforms in planning the Northern Metropolis and the Lok Ma Chau Loop Shenzhen-Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Cooperation Zone to support the low-altitude economy.This site visit will lead students to explore benchmark projects in Guangdong and Hong Kong. It will allow them to witness firsthand the deep integration of three-dimensional transportation networks with the digital economy while broadening their horizons for participating in developing national strategic emerging industries.

The forum will cultivate talent in Hong Kong’s innovation and technology sector, foster a vibrant innovation culture within the local community, provide a platform for information exchange, encourage exploration and development of innovative technology ideas, and will promote the development of the innovation and technology ecosystem.
