HTT representatives attended the event of "Unleashing Tomorrow, Today at InnoPark", press conference held by HKSTPC. Prof. SUN Dong, Dr. Sunny CHAI (Chairman of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC),

Mr Albert WONG (Chief Executive Officer of HKSTPC), MR. Ivan LEE (Commissioner for Innovation and Technology) and many honourable guests present in the conference.

During the welcome remark, Prof. SUN has introduce two notable initiatives in InnoPark, namely the High-Performance Computing Service in Tseung Kwan O and the Microelectronics Centre (MEC) in Yuen Long. He said that a complete innovation and technology (I&T) industry chain has to be backed by industries. They strive to attract and nurture more technology industries of strategic importance conducive to the real and digital economy and promote the development of "new industrialisation" in Hong Kong. Developing AI (artificial intelligence) and microelectronics industries are both our focus.

The Government has been adopting all-round strategy to develop the AI ecosystem. The new High-Performance Computing Service is expected to support the growth of around 300 companies working on AI and data technology in Science Park's ecosystem and provides them with new insights and discovery in various fields. Together with the new AI Supercomputing Centre in Cyberport, with the first phase facility to start operating this year, the support to the strong local demand for computing power will be further strengthened.

Obtained the LegCo's approval, the Hong Kong Microelectronics Research and Development Institute (MRDI) has been established. The MRDI will make good use of microelectronics-specific infrastructure to be provided by the MEC, including the lightweight workshops and co-working spaces to be commissioned later this year. They also look forward to the timely commissioning of the remaining critical parts, before end of next year to bolster the full support for the microelectronics industry, from design to pilot run and beyond.

香港科学园公司于2024年9月26日举行「Unleashing Tomorrow, Today at InnoPark」新闻发布会。

HTT 代表出席香港科学园举办的 “"Unleashing Tomorrow, Today at InnoPark”新闻发布会。孙东教授、香港科学园公司主席查毅超博士、香港科学园公司行政总裁黄克强先生、创新科技署署长李国彬先生及多位出席会议的嘉宾。

孙教授致欢迎辞时介绍了创新科技园的两项重要举措，即将军澳的高性能计算服务和元朗的微电子中心。他表示，完整的创新科技产业链需要产业的支持，力争吸引和培育更多有利于实体经济和数字经济的战略性科技产业，推动香港“新型工业化”发展。发展人工智能和微电子产业都是我们的重点。

政府一直采取全方位的策略发展人工智能生态系统。新的高性能计算服务预计将支持约300家从事人工智能及数据技术的公司在科学园的生态系统中发展，为他们提供不同领域的新见解和发现。加上数码港新的人工智能超级计算中心，第一期设施将于今年开始运作，将进一步加强对本地强劲计算能力需求的支持。

香港微电子研发中心（MRDI）已获立法会批准成立。MRDI将善用MEC提供的微电子专用基础设施，包括将于今年稍后启用的轻量级车间和共享工作空间。他们还期待其余关键部分能在明年年底前及时投入使用，以加强对微电子行业从设计到试运行等各个方面的全面支持。
