A new chapter of "two-way travel" in the talent flow of the Greater Bay Area's "north to south" movement
2024-07-08
Since the issuance of the Development Plan Outline for the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area in 2019, countless people have found their own stage in this hot land of the Greater Bay Area, from Hong Kong youth who start businesses in the north to mainland talents who seek dreams in the south. They are crossing the boundaries of cities and regions with dreams and passion, jointly writing a new chapter of talent mobility in both directions. Hong Kong young people pursue their dreams in front of the sea. A piece of land of about 120 square kilometers is located in the core area of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, connecting Hong Kong at one end and the "Golden Inner Bay" of 100 kilometers around the Pearl River Estuary at the other. It has unique geographical advantages. In the past five years, Qianhai has increasingly become a fertile ground for attracting young people to start businesses and find employment, from emerging technological innovation platforms, to expanding new infrastructure channels, and then to deepening mechanisms and rule connections. Liu Jia, a Hong Kong youth born in 1985, is a prominent figure in the "northward" entrepreneurial wave in the Greater Bay Area. As a Hong Kong youth, I have been developing in Shenzhen for over 10 years and have settled in Shenzhen. We have come here with support from policies related to entrepreneurship and employment, as well as solutions to accommodation and other related issues. When Liu Jia returned from studying abroad, he decided to develop in Shenzhen. From a worker in a trading company to founding a cross-border e-commerce platform, his first bucket of gold comes from cross-border trade. Now, he operates the entrepreneurship incubator Star Creation Center in Qianhai, helping more Hong Kong and Macao youth to achieve their dreams in mainland China. The continuous burst of new productive forces has brought new opportunities for the development of Qianhai Hong Kong funded enterprises. According to statistical data, there are currently 2433 Hong Kong funded technology enterprises in Qianhai. From January to April this year, Hong Kong funded technology enterprises achieved a revenue of 22.364 billion yuan in information services and technology services, a year-on-year increase of 95.7%. A group of high growth Hong Kong funded enterprises are developing rapidly in fields such as artificial intelligence, technology finance, and health. "I have witnessed the development of Qianhai, and it has also accompanied my growth." Liu Jia said, "Now the Greater Bay Area has achieved a one hour living circle, and it is unobstructed 24 hours a day. I hope more young people can come to this high-tech highland and entrepreneurial fertile land." The new starting point of "New Port people" is different from Liu Jia's "northward" entrepreneurship. Guo Lin chose to "go south" to Xianggang, opening a new chapter in his life. As a mainland Chinese person who has worked in Shenzhen for 8 years, Guo Lin has decided to come to Hong Kong this year to promote the internationalization of the company's business. Like many of my clients, I chose to come to Hong Kong because I saw its advantages as an important channel for mainland China to connect with the world. In addition, Hong Kong's policies in the past two years have given great support to the Greater Bay Area. " Guo Lin said. Baichen International Investment Consulting Services (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. founded by Guo Lin provides consulting services to many small and medium-sized business owners. In recent years, he has witnessed more and more clients expanding their business from mainland China to Hong Kong, achieving revenue breakthroughs. "The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government provides excellent supporting services for new arrivals. It has set up a dedicated talent service office and also helps solve children's education problems." Guo Lin said, "In recent years, Hong Kong has emerged with many opportunities, and we are working hard to win more possibilities." According to statistics, in the past five years, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government has implemented a series of preferential policies, successfully attracting over 100000 new talents to Hong Kong, injecting new vitality into Hong Kong's economic and social development. Zheng Nan, a senior human resources management expert who has been working in the Greater Bay Area for 20 years, has a deep observation on the trend of talent mobility, reflecting economic vitality and complementary advantages of cities. She stated that behind the trend of talent mobility in the Greater Bay Area in recent years, which is characterized by the vigorous development of the region's economy and the complementary advantages of cities within the region, there has been a trend of "going north and south" and "two-way travel". "In terms of talent flow, what we saw earlier was more driven by industry hotspots, such as mobile Internet, finance, games, etc. With the highlight of the unique geographical advantages of the Greater Bay Area, the economic development is seeking outward, and the new generation of outbound tide is expanding outward with Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao as the center." Zheng Nan said. She believes that enterprises and institutions in the Greater Bay Area place greater emphasis on the diversification and internationalization of talents, which provides more opportunities and platforms for the two-way flow of talents. Through the exchange and collision of talents, technological innovation and business innovation are brought about, further promoting cultural exchange and integration within the region. A month ago, while attending a human resources summit in the San Francisco Bay Area, Zheng Nan observed an exciting phenomenon: "Many North American Chinese elites learned that I come from the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, and I am very proactive and curious. They are eager to know 'what policies and opportunities there are in the Greater Bay Area' and 'which city would be better if they come back.' I think they have already felt the attraction of the Greater Bay Area." She believes that the active flow of talent in the Greater Bay Area cannot be separated from higher level policy guidance and resource support. "In the five years since the promulgation of the" Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area ", I have indeed felt that the flow of talents and enterprises has become increasingly apparent and fruitful. I hold a positive and optimistic attitude towards the talent flow in the Greater Bay Area. With the convenience of transportation, technological exchange, and the interaction between industry, academia, and research, this trend will definitely become more apparent." Yan Gang, a member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Vice Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Rapid Integration of New Talent into Hong Kong, said that the SAR government has been committed to promoting talent exchange and cooperation in the Greater Bay Area. To promote the two-way flow and deep integration of talents, the SAR government has introduced a series of policies and measures. The cross-border circulation of funds, information, and people in the Greater Bay Area is a very beneficial element for better promoting the construction of the Bay Area. The SAR government has done a lot of work in recent years, including introducing a plan to support employment in the Greater Bay Area for young people, and establishing a talent service office He said. Yan Gang emphasized that these measures not only help Hong Kong residents develop in the mainland, but also attract more mainland talents to work and live in Hong Kong. Through policy guidance and support, the path of talent integration in the Greater Bay Area is becoming wider and wider. "From the strategic layout of Shenzhen and Hong Kong in jointly building high-tech development in Hetao, it is inevitable that there will be more high-level talent mobility." Yan Gang said, "I have great confidence in the Bay Area's technology driven high-quality development." (Xinhua)
