Nansha is China’s sixth “New Community” set up by the State, and also Guangzhou’s twin city hub. It presents enormous development opportunities as a “Comprehensive Cooperation Demonstration Zone” of the Greater Bay Area, as well as huge potential for mutual growth with Hong Kong.

In the forum on “Hong Kong-Nansha Cooperation”, experts from the government, industries, the academia, and research sectors from Hong Kong and Guangzhou pooled their wisdom together to explore new opportunities that the integrated strengths of Hong Kong and Nansha can co-create. 

Nansha boasts a diversified economic base underpinned by strong pillar industries and rapid-growth high-end industries. It pursues a robust incentive policy to lure talents. The forum shed light on the development of Nansha, and its huge opportunities for talents to ride on the benefits of China’s national development. 

The forum is jointly organised by Hong Kong Coalition, Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF), and Consultative Committee on Guangdong-Hong Kong Co-operation (Guangzhou Nansha).
