- Committed to the growth of Hong Kong’s electronics industries -

 Hong Kong has in its cradle all sectors of the electronics industry and technology fronts.  To support the growth of these industries, Hong Kong has various associations committed to the electronics sector.  Aiming to foster Hong Kong as the technological business hub of Asia and the gateway to china, there are three key industry groups helping electronics makers to congregate, develop innovative products, and to build networks.  These associations are the Hong Kong Electronics Industry Association (HKEIA), the Hong Kong Critical Components Manufacturers Association (HKCCMA), and the America Hong Kong Electronics Association (AHKEA).

Apart from these groups, there is a statutory body set up by the Hong Kong Government, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), to lead the transformation of Hong Kong into Asia’s hub for technology innovation in the areas of electronics, biotechnology, precision engineering, and IT & telecommunications.  Leveraging on the close ties between Hong Kong and the Pan Pearl River Delta (PPRD) of Southern China, HKSTP aims to bolster Hong Kong’s role in the economic development of the PPRD and as a provider of hi-tech services and products in Asia-Pacific.

HKSTP provides a comprehensive range of services to cater for the needs of industry at various stages.  These include offering a series of management and technical support programs through partnership with the industry and universities, nurturing technology start-ups through the Incu-Tech program, allocating advanced facilities and support services in the Science Park for applied R&D activities, and providing land in the three industrial estates for high-tech manufacturing.  HKSTP also has IC Design/ Development Support Centre and a Photonics Development Support Centre for its tenants and incubates.
