At the lower reaches of Shenzhen River, the river is winding, one side is Shenzhen, the other side is Hong Kong. Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone is located at the junction of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, which is the direct contact point of Shenzhen Hong Kong science and technology innovation cooperation. "Scientific innovation needs a flash of inspiration. I came up with an idea in Hong Kong, and it is very important to try it in the laboratory here." Chen Furong, president of the Institute of Material Science (Futian) of City University of Hong Kong, said that the Hetao Cooperation Zone has brought convenience to scientific and technological innovation.

Synergistic development and complementary advantages. Less than a year after the issuance of the Development Plan of Shenzhen Park in Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, 13 professional parks have been built in Shenzhen Park, bringing together more than 160 high-end scientific research projects, including 8 Fortune Global 500 R&D centers, 8 major scientific research platforms, and 10 key scientific research projects in Hong Kong universities, China's first high spatial and temporal resolution electron microscope with independent intellectual property rights and other leading scientific and technological achievements were born... This hot land of scientific and technological innovation is thriving, and scientific and technological innovation achievements continue to emerge.

The Outline of the Development Plan of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area clearly proposes to "build an international scientific and technological innovation center". The nine inland cities in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area have sound industrial systems and complete industrial chains. Hong Kong and Macao have advanced modern service industry, financial industry, science and education resources. The "Shenzhen Hong Kong Guangzhou Science and Technology Cluster" has ranked second in the global innovation index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization for four consecutive years. The tide of scientific and technological innovation is surging in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.

Gather and build world-class scientific and technological infrastructure clusters, first-class laboratories, and first-class university scientific research institutions. Now, in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, major scientific and technological infrastructure clusters such as spallation neutron sources, advanced attosecond lasers, and cold spring ecosystems have taken shape. Pengcheng Laboratory and Guangzhou Laboratory have been running smoothly. The Greater Bay Area Quantum Science Center has been listed, and the whole country (country) has been established There are more than 50 key laboratories and 10 new Guangdong Hong Kong Macao joint laboratories. Relying on the Chinese spallation neutron source, the team of Professor Huang Mingxin from the University of Hong Kong has developed a "super steel" - a "small steel sheet" with a size of 1 square centimeter and a thickness of 1.5 mm, which can withstand 3 tons of pressure, equivalent to the weight of an adult Asian elephant. Continuously improve the layout of scientific and technological forces, promote the coordinated tackling of basic research and key core technologies in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, continue to improve the original innovation capability of the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area, and promote the generation of new industries, new models and new drivers.

With the opening of the private network, the "crossing of the river" of funds, and the cooperation of teams, one by one institutional and institutional barriers have been overcome, and the flow of data, funds, talents and other scientific and technological elements in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has accelerated, pressing the "acceleration key" for scientific and technological innovation in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. Nansha Branch of the National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou continuously transmits the computing power of "Tianhe-2" to Hong Kong through the 100 megabyte network dedicated line, filling the gap that Hong Kong has no world-class high-performance computing platform; The central and Guangdong provincial financial research funds are used in transit to Hong Kong and Macao, 25 key special projects of the national key research and development plan, and more than 130000 sets of large-scale scientific research instruments and equipment are open to Hong Kong and Macao. Five institutions, including Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong, have been approved as pilot units of human genetic resources transit to Hong Kong, "Macao R&D+Hengqin transformation" The new model of Qinhuangdao Macao coordinated development has gradually entered the normal state... The implementation of a series of policies and measures has promoted the smooth flow of innovation elements in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, and the three regions of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have moved from cooperation to integration, further stimulating the surging vitality of regional collaborative innovation.

The basic research has been significantly enhanced, the industrial base has been highly developed, and the flow of scientific and technological elements has accelerated. The Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has become a paradise for the growth of scientific and technological innovation enterprises. Today, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has more than 75000 national high-tech enterprises. Stars are shining, illuminating the whole Greater Bay Area's scientific and technological innovation landscape, as well as the dreams of innovation and entrepreneurship of Hong Kong and Macao youth. In Qianhai, Shenzhen Hong Kong Youth DreamWorks has incubated 1195 entrepreneurial teams, including 691 Hong Kong teams, with an accumulated financing amount of more than 4.2 billion yuan; In Hengqin, as of April this year, 796 Hong Kong and Macao youth entrepreneurship projects have been incubated, and 254 Macao youth entrepreneurship projects have been incubated in the park... The vast fertile land for scientific innovation in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has enabled Hong Kong and Macao youth's innovation dreams to take root and blossom.

Synergistic innovation and burst of vitality will bring together the advantages of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. The Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area will continue to run out of the "acceleration" of innovation, further stimulate the vitality of all kinds of innovation subjects, and accelerate to build itself into a global highland of scientific and technological innovation and an important source of emerging industries.
