The tower crane rises step by step, and tall buildings rise from the ground. Recently, a batch of high-quality scientific research spaces were completed in the Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "Hetao Cooperation Zone"), gathering cutting-edge projects in materials science, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, etc., marking another step forward in the construction of the Hetao Cooperation Zone. In August 2023, the State Council issued the "Development Plan for the Shenzhen Industrial Park of the Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone", bringing new opportunities for the construction of the Hetao Cooperation Zone. Over the past year, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have worked together to accelerate the convergence of innovative resources in the Hetao Cooperation Zone. High end scientific and technological innovation resources have shifted from scattered to clustered development, and a large number of iconic scientific and technological innovation achievements have been transformed and implemented. With the unique advantage of collaborative innovation, the Hetao Cooperation Zone is accelerating the construction of a scientific and technological innovation highland, striving towards the goal of becoming a "world-class scientific research hub". The emergence of achievements: "The small river bends southward and flows to the Xiang River to take a look..." The "small river" in the lyrics of "The Pearl of the Orient" refers to the Shenzhen River. The river meanders through, with Shenzhen on one side and Hong Kong on the other. The Hetao Cooperation Zone, located on both sides of the Shenzhen River with an area of approximately 3.89 square kilometers, has become the most direct docking point for Shenzhen Hong Kong technological innovation cooperation. Over the past year, this land of science and technology innovation has been full of vitality, and innovative achievements continue to emerge. Recently, several scientific and technological innovation institutions, including the China Resources Life and Health Research Institute, the International Headquarters of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area National Technology Innovation Center, and the Joint Laboratory led by the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Digital Economy Research Institute, have landed in the Hetao Shenzhen Park. These national level institutions and leading enterprises have set up laboratories and research institutes in the Shenzhen park, which will attract more enterprises and institutions to settle in and form a science and technology innovation agglomeration effect, "said Xie Laifeng, Deputy Director of the Hong Kong, Macao and Regional Development Research Institute of China (Shenzhen) Institute of Comprehensive Development. This is a microcosm of the continuous improvement of scientific and technological innovation vitality in the Hetao Cooperation Zone. In the Hetao Shenzhen Industrial Park, cutting-edge technology companies such as robotics, autonomous driving, and artificial intelligence have settled in one after another. Future industries such as low altitude economy, intelligent robots, and quantum information are accelerating their layout here, and innovative international industries and standard ecosystems are constantly forming here. As of now, the Hetao Shenzhen Park has promoted and implemented over 160 high-end scientific research projects, more than 440 technology enterprises, gathered 6 international industry and standard organizations, 8 research and development centers of Fortune 500 companies, 13 key scientific research projects of 5 world-renowned universities in Hong Kong, attracted 16 academicians and experts from home and abroad, and more than 15000 scientific and technological research talents. The cumulative number of PCT international patent applications has exceeded 1700, demonstrating strong momentum. The complementary advantages are in the Hetao Cooperation Zone, and technological innovation is the "greatest common denominator" of Shenzhen Hong Kong cooperation. Hong Kong has strong scientific research capabilities, while Shenzhen has a high degree of industrial completeness, complementary development advantages, and enormous potential for cooperation. After the construction of the Hetao Cooperation Zone was launched, the Hong Kong SAR government, major universities, research institutions, and enterprises organized multiple rounds of on-site inspections. Various sectors of Hong Kong society gradually formed a consensus on strengthening cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong and building an international science and technology innovation center. Last September, the first Hong Kong Science Park Shenzhen branch operated by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation opened in the Hetao Cooperation Zone in mainland China. The first batch of 16 Hong Kong enterprises and institutions joined the park, and more than 50 Hong Kong science and technology innovation institutions and enterprises have been introduced so far. Five universities, including the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the University of Hong Kong, have successively established 10 innovation research and development platforms and a series of innovation incubation carriers in the Hetao Cooperation Zone. We have established a cluster of Shenzhen Hong Kong collaborative innovation laboratories, with 17 laboratories distributed in the fields of next-generation information technology, materials science, artificial intelligence, etc., "said Gao Lingyun, Executive Director of the Shenzhen Hong Kong Collaborative Innovation Research Institute at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. This is our independently developed high-speed high-definition 3D machine vision sensor, used to guide robot work, with an accuracy of up to 0.5 microns, which can replace similar imported products in multiple fields Dr. Ding Ke from the Chinese University of Hong Kong is one of the earliest Hong Kong youths to settle in the Hetao Cooperation Zone. The enterprise he founded has achieved a full industry chain development path, including research and development in Hong Kong, landing in Shenzhen, production in Foshan, and sales nationwide. The combination of Hong Kong's scientific research advantages and Shenzhen's industrial and supply chain advantages can be described as a perfect match, which is very advantageous for start-up companies, "Ding Ke said. Recently, the first Shenzhen Hong Kong cross-border direct bus from the Hetao Cooperation Zone departed from the Shenzhen campus, passing through "Channel 1" and arriving directly at the Hong Kong Science Park in about half an hour in a point-to-point manner. This' Hetao speed 'surprised Wang Shelley, Executive Director of the Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong International Translational Medicine Research Institute. How to make it more convenient for talents, materials, funds, data and other scientific and technological innovation resources to "cross the river" in the Hetao Cooperation Zone, and make the path of coordinated development between Shenzhen and Hong Kong more smooth? Focusing on the three major positioning of Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Open Cooperation Pilot Zone, International Advanced Science and Technology Innovation Rules Pilot Zone, and Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Pilot Transformation Agglomeration Zone, we will accelerate the connection of rules and mechanisms, implement policies to promote the circulation of science and technology innovation elements, and optimize service matching, "said Zeng Jianpeng, Director of the Shenzhen Industrial Park Development Bureau of the Hetao Cooperation Zone. Through the pilot business of "Kehuitong", more and more research institutions have obtained overseas research funds transferred from Hong Kong, solving the problem of cross-border research funds; Through the "Channel One" directly to Hong Kong, personnel from "White List" scientific research institutions can conveniently shuttle between offices in Shenzhen and Hong Kong... A series of measures have been implemented and effective, with a large number of scientific research achievements such as the first domestically owned high temporal and spatial resolution electron microscope with independent intellectual property rights and the first "AI+drug research and development" innovative drug emerging in the Hetao Cooperation Zone. Not long ago, the Hetao Cooperation Zone issued the "Shenzhen Overseas Professional Qualification Convenience Practice Recognition List (Hetao Shenzhen Park Special Edition)", covering 28 professional qualifications in 8 major fields such as construction, healthcare, law, and finance. It will be more convenient for overseas professionals to practice in the Hetao Shenzhen Park. In the 'special zone within the special zone' of Hetao, there will be a completely new development situation in scientific and technological innovation construction Xue Qikun, an academician of the CAS Member and the first director of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Quantum Science Center, said.
