The delegates next had a meeting with SIMIS to discuss plans to enhance linkage in related fields.
A symposium was co-organized with Yangpu District Government with the participation of Mr. Zhou Haiying, Deputy Secretary of the Yangpu District Party Committee and District Mayor. Mr. Zhou remarked that Yangpu and Hong Kong have maintained close cooperation, especially since the establishment of the CUHK Shanghai Center, where significant progress has been made in their collaboration. Looking ahead, he hoped to see deep cooperation with the Education Bureau of the HKSAR and CUHK to serve national development and build the CUHK Shanghai Center as a benchmark for the university-government collaborative model.
Professor Poon stated that there was a solid foundation for collaboration between Hong Kong and Shanghai. CUHK and Yangpu will continue to leverage their complementary advantages in resources, enhancing industry-academia-research cooperation in areas such as basic sciences and the digital economy.
