He conducted research in the laboratory of Hetao Shenzhen Park, conducted a project roadshow in a start-up factory in Nansha, Guangzhou, and handled cross-border business ...... in an office building in Hengqin, ZhuhaiNot long after the Spring Festival holiday, young people in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area have already been busy. People are diligent and spring comes early, and in this hot land of entrepreneurship, there are many young people with dreams every day and write stories of struggle in the surging wave.
The Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (the Outline) clearly states that it is necessary to provide more convenient conditions for Hong Kong and Macao residents to study, work, start businesses and live in the Mainland. Create a more attractive environment for the introduction of talents, and implement a more active, open and effective talent introduction policy. In the five years since the release of the Outline, more and more young people have integrated into the Bay Area, taken root in the Bay Area, and continued to grow in the process of chasing and building dreams.
Enthusiasm is high. In the early spring, the various venues of Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth DreamWorks in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province have already been crowded, and young entrepreneurs from Hong Kong are chatting about the industry in the café, or discussing the test results in the R&D room, or communicating product trends in the conference room, everyone is busy and striving to "get off to a good start". As the "first stop" and "preferred destination" for Hong Kong youths to go north to the mainland, Qianhai DreamWorks introduced 228 Hong Kong youth start-ups last year alone.
Such a hot scene is the epitome of Hong Kong and Macao young people chasing their dreams in the Greater Bay Area. Over the past five years since the promulgation of the Outline, Guangdong has continued to improve the employment and entrepreneurship service system for Hong Kong and Macao youths, providing a number of support policies for Hong Kong and Macao people who come to the nine mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area for employment and entrepreneurship, and vigorously promoting the development of innovation and entrepreneurship platforms for Hong Kong and Macao youths. At present, Guangdong has built a "1+12+N" innovation and entrepreneurship base system for Hong Kong and Macao youths, providing good conditions and sufficient choices for Hong Kong and Macao youths to innovate and start businesses. The Pearl River Delta Hong Kong and Macao Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base has incubated about 4,000 Hong Kong and Macao projects and employed about 5,500 Hong Kong and Macao youths.
In addition to attracting young people from Hong Kong and Macao, the Greater Bay Area is also a hot spot for young people from the Mainland and Taiwan to start their own businesses. Weng Dingjun, a Taiwanese youth who is engaged in corporate services in the Greater Bay Area, said that even during the Spring Festival, he often has work tasks, such as taking customers to inspect venues and markets, and helping to answer questions related to enterprise registration and operation services. "Everyone thinks that there are many development opportunities and a good environment for innovation in the Greater Bay Area, so they come here to look for opportunities. ”
The advantages are highlighted. When the Outline was issued five years ago, Li Linxian, a medical doctor who was teaching at a university in Hong Kong, was deeply excited, and at the end of that year, he registered a biotechnology company in Hong Kong and Shenzhen at the same time. Today, the company has grown from a few people to a team of 160 people and has received hundreds of millions of yuan in financing. "At that time, we decided to set up the company in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, because we felt that the cities in the Greater Bay Area complemented each other's advantages, and integration and innovation would bring greater convenience. In the future, the development of the Greater Bay Area will definitely get better and better. Li Linxian said.
Like Li Linxian, many young people choose to work and start businesses in the Greater Bay Area because they see many advantages, such as strong economic strength, a complete industrial system, integrated rules and mechanisms, and convenient transportation networks.
I make trendy clothes. In Hong Kong, I can keep abreast of the latest trends of international fashion brands and apparel trends, and find new styles and design solutions. In Dongguan, I was able to find manufacturers to make samples and mass production; In Guangzhou, I often participate in various exhibition activities to promote our brand. The geographical proximity of each city in the Greater Bay Area but its own characteristics has enabled my business to gather superior resources for development. Pan Jian, a Hong Kong youth engaged in the fashion industry, told reporters.
At the same time, the support of the relevant departments and entrepreneurship bases in the Greater Bay Area for young people to start their own businesses and employment has also deeply touched many young people, especially those from Hong Kong and Macao. "When our team settled in the business incubation base in Nansha, Guangzhou, the platform provided us with one-to-one full-process services, and it only took three or four days to complete all the procedures. After settling in, the base will provide support in terms of consulting, financing and market development, which saves us a lot of detours. Li Weijie, a young man from Macau, said.
Deep integration. Since the official implementation of the "Hong Kong cars going north" policy in July last year, Chen Bin, a young man from Hong Kong, has been driving to the mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area almost every week to meet customers and see products. "We are doing international business, and almost all of our products come from manufacturing enterprises in mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area. Compared with taking the high-speed train, driving back and forth is more conducive to me to carry samples, and the time is more flexible. ”
The customs clearance at the Hengqin port is very convenient, and there are many cross-border buses between Hengqin and Macao, and I don't have the feeling of 'cross-border' or 'out of the city' between the two places every day. Wang Rui, a young man from Macao, said that not only is it convenient to cross the border, but also that Macao companies conduct business and go through procedures in Hengqin, and Macao residents who live and live in Hengqin can enjoy Macao's policies in accordance with Macao's habits. Now that Hengqin has been officially closed for operation, it is more convenient for Macao residents and enterprises to travel to and from Hengqin and Macao with production and daily necessities, and the integration between the two places has been further deepened.
108 government service items have been implemented in cross-border communication between Guangdong and Hong Kong, and the "Bay Area Connect" project has been implemented in depth; The "Bay Area Social Security Connect" was launched, allowing Hong Kong and Macao residents to enjoy Guangdong's social security services without leaving the country; Dozens of Hong Kong and Macao professional qualifications, such as finance, accounting, taxation and legal services, have been recognized by the mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area, and Hong Kong and Macao youths have more choices ...... employment
Many young people who have started businesses and employed in the Greater Bay Area said that the Greater Bay Area is becoming more and more a holistic concept, and everyone is no longer confined to specific cities in the Greater Bay Area. It is believed that more young talents will come to the Greater Bay Area in the future to participate in the construction and development of the Greater Bay Area. (Reporter Chai Yifei).
