<p>廣東省對外貿易經濟合作廳副巡視員周樹偉、生產力局主席陳鎮仁及香港工業總會副主席兼珠三角工業協會主席劉展灝在研討會上致開幕辭。</p>
<p>陳鎮仁表示：「『香港珠三角工商界合作交流會』一向發揮促進兩地業界互補優勢，以及發掘合作商機的作用。當中的研討會除了探討港商關心的營商課題外，亦為港商提供機會了解各市的投資環境和政策。」</p>
<p>他續說：「香港特區政府在今年六月推出『發展品牌、升級轉型及拓展內銷市場的專項基金』，生產力局擔任其中『企業支援計劃』的秘書處，截至11月底，總共收到492份申請，大部分項目與品牌創建和發展內銷業務有關。從業界的反應可見港商對創建品牌和發展內銷市場的取態愈來愈積極。廣東省的市場龐大、消費力高，我們期望廣東省政府能夠加大力度，在政策上支持粵港企業合作發展內銷業務。」</p>

<p>生產力局總裁麥鄧碧儀表示：「《力創驕陽》的主角雖然不是生產力局，但讀者可以從中看到過去四十五年我們與業界攜手同行的工作點滴。期盼通過漫畫這種創意媒體，以生動活潑的方式，令年青新一代認識香港工業過去的歷程、現在的挑戰和將來的方向。」</p>
<p>麥鄧碧儀續說：「主角的故事在香港各行各業、不同年代都有發生。誠如書內最後一章所說『香港沒有夕陽工業，只有夕陽企業』，只要能夠承傳故事主人翁逆境自強、奮力向上的精神，香港的工商業一定可以創出驕陽。」</p>
