The introduction of materials will announce the sixth batch of about 20 key enterprises between March and April, with a cumulative introduction of over 100 enterprises

The Director of the Investment Promotion Office, Ren Jingxin, stated that the sixth batch of key enterprises is expected to be officially announced between March and April, involving about 20 companies, mainly concentrated in five areas: financial technology, life and health, and advanced manufacturing. They are carefully reviewing the operational plans and implementation projects of these enterprises.

The Investment Promotion Office indicated that approximately 102 companies have been introduced so far, with about half already listed and 12% expected to go public. The introduced companies focus on industry leaders, unicorns, or companies with leading positions in their sectors. Ren Jingxin mentioned that, given the number of companies already settled, future introductions will be more "selective," ensuring that the enterprises can specifically benefit the local economy rather than merely making investment commitments.

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government is publicly tendering a "district" project within the Hong Shui Qiao area using a "dual-envelope system." Ren Jingxin stated that the introduced enterprises will align with government policies, believing that the Northern Metropolis is a very important tool to assist in attracting enterprises and addressing the long-standing land shortage issue. He pointed out that the entire tendering process for the Hong Shui Qiao Industrial Park will hold several matching sessions, allowing key enterprises interested in settling to connect with relevant departments to understand the planning purposes, which may also involve collaboration with developers, hoping to facilitate matches.

He noted that the construction of the Hong Shui Qiao Industrial Park may take 2 to 3 years, and some introduced enterprises may not be able to wait. The Investment Promotion Office will first arrange for companies to settle in the Science Park, Cyberport, and the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park, which opened at the end of last year. As for longer-term plans, such as the San Tin Technology City, it may take 3 to 5 years to complete construction, at which point it can further establish a research talent base to support business development and "go global."
