HK-INC Explores Road Ahead for Critical Components Industry

The “Hong Kong Industry Network Clusters” (HK-INC), established by the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), held a consultation session today (24 June 2011) to explore the roadmap for the development of Hong Kong’s critical components industry and its market position on the Mainland and overseas.

Addressing the meeting, Mrs Agnes Mak, Executive Director of HKPC, said, “Being a high value-adding business, the critical components sector is vital to the sustainable development of Hong Kong industry. Indeed HKPC has been supporting the industry to enhance its capabilities in research and development, production, and management; and to tap business opportunities in the emerging automotive and medical devices industries.”

“During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, China will focus on the development of high technology modern industry. Apart from engaging in domestic sales on the Mainland, enterprises can also expand into the critical components market as a viable strategy for business transformation and industry upgrading. At the meeting, we have gauged the views of the industry on its challenges and opportunities. We will summarize the comments and communicate with the Government to help facilitate the formulation of strategies and services to meet their needs,” she added.

Held regularly, the theme-based HK-INC aims to gauge the views of local industry on issues of relevance to their long-term development. Previous meetings on domestic sales, environmental, creative and watch industries, Guangzhou-Hong Kong cooperation, business inheritance and sustainability, and information and communication technology industry, were convened with participants from the Government, trade and industry organizations, business and SME associations.
