# Cai Ruolian: Will focus on building an education hub to promote deep collaboration between education, finance, and innovation technology

The Hong Kong Chinese Manufacturers' Association held a board dinner on the 26th, where the Secretary for Education, Choi Yau-lin, attended and elaborated on the strategies and measures of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government to consolidate Hong Kong's position as an international education hub. She stated that the high level of internationalization and diversity in Hong Kong's education is the city's "golden trademark," and efforts will be made to build an education hub that promotes deep collaboration between education, finance, professional services, and innovation and technology, while attracting more international talents to Hong Kong to support emerging industries.

Choi Yau-lin pointed out that the government has established a cross-departmental "Education, Technology, and Talent Committee" to promote talent cultivation and attraction through multiple approaches, including: creating the "Study in Hong Kong" and "Study Tour in Hong Kong" brands, allocating funds to support overseas recruitment by higher education institutions, and relaxing the enrollment cap for non-local students, among others, to support the expansion and quality enhancement of higher education institutions and primary and secondary schools. At the same time, the authorities also encourage institutions to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with high-end research and talent overseas, and align with the planning of "One School, Two Parks" and "North Metropolitan University Town" in the Greater Bay Area cities to expand the development territory of higher education. In addition, the government is also accelerating the cultivation of interdisciplinary talents that align with the AI era and the positioning of the "Eight Centers" through the promotion of STEAM, vocational education, and the development of applied science universities, providing youth with diverse pathways for further education and employment.

She hopes that the business community, government, and institutions will work together to support scholarships, exchange and internship programs, participate in the construction of "North Metropolitan University Town" and student dormitories, and actively provide suggestions on curriculum design, talent cultivation, and alignment with national development directions, to jointly tell the story of Hong Kong's education well
