Then Dr. Lo analyzed the potential of GBA and compared with other areas.  He said our competition in the world that was not city vs city but city cluster vs city cluster.


And then Dr. Lo mentioned the key milestone was on 1st Jul 2017 that President Xi Jinping Saturday attended the signing ceremony of the framework agreement on the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.  Until 18th Feb 2019, Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was issued.

The key target and strategies of the outline were showed in the following diagram.


After that Dr. Lo briefed some measures which established for supporting Hong Kong people servicing in GBA.  Many people concerned the tax arrangement about the limit of 183 day.  He said the day did not count if not over 24hr.  For example, you work from Monday and back from Friday, it counted 3 day stayed in China.


Finally, Dr. Lo stated the development in each discipline such as Innovation & Technology, Financial Centre (especially Green Finance) and Testing & Certification, etc. 


During Q&A, I asked Dr. Lo do reindustrialization policy have any synergy with GBA?  Dr. Lo said reindustrialization solution is not from HK Government but depends on HK enterprises ourselves.  He raised one example was Biel Crystal (伯恩光學) from watch glass transferred to mobile glass (iPhone). 


Mr Daniel Chun (Chairman of Research & Blueprint committee of Smart City Consortium) was the second speaker and his presentation named “The Policy Areas of GBA and Smart City Blueprint”.  He firstly introduced the background of Smart City Consortium.  Their vision is to development Hong Kong as the world leading Smart City, to foster knowledge economy enhance quality of life and create a vibrant eco-system by using Information Technology and promoting more effective resource management. 


Then Mr. Daniel Chun focused the Manufacturing Industry part in the outline.  In GBA, it planned to enhance the advanced manufacturing and promote internet, big data and AI to integrate into manufacturing.  


After that Mr. Chun shared their Business Model Innovation that from Traditional Supply Chain to Technology-enabled Supply Chain.  It is a solution model.


Finally, he shared his company product to demonstrated how technology solutions enabling manufacturer. 


Lastly, Mr. Chun introduced some funding or government supporting young working in GBA cities such as Foshan.

Then he briefed the characteristics of GBA and the advantages of Hong Kong manufacturing industries.  In the past, HK was shop for Marketing, R&D and Branding, Mainland China was production base.  In future, GBA covered Finance, Marketing, R&D and Branding; inner mainland would be performed production. 


After that he shared current situation of Hong Kong manufacturing.  Safety requirements were very high and Safe Production Director must established in each factory.  Government safety related department would check your factor every week.  Another challenge was US-China trade war that some customers requested them to move factor to other Asia countries.


Finally, Mr. Alan Suen introduced Reindustrialization policy in Hong Kong and he raised a key problem was land supply.

Q&A Panel
Mr. John Chow (IETHK) was facilitator for this discussion panel and the guest panelist were Dr. Eric SL Liu (VTC), Mr. Lee Yuan Fat, Mr. Alan Suen and Mr. Daniel Chun.  I asked three questions to three speakers as follows.

ii)                  Do reindustrialization land problem to be solved if IE rental building area such as AMC?  Mr. Alan Suen and Mr. Lee Yuan Fat said that it depended on enterprise itself. It had better design in HK and production in GBA the completing the supply chain.  HK manufacturer should use HK brand and quality and re-education to use i4.0.
iii)                Do i4.0 enhancing quality and customer satisfaction? Mr. Lee Yuan Fat shared that his customer trust increased and requested to view their real time data.  Based on this enhancement, their order had increased. 
iv)                Dr. Eric Liu shared that they needed to promote more about GBA.  He also shared their education trend from “Manufacturing Focus” to “Construction & Electrical”.  Then we needed to consider not Smart City but Smart Bay Area.
