Anthony Lau Chun-hon, the director of Hong Kong Talent Engage, on Monday said the office would organise a large-scale global summit and a high-level conference on professional development in the bay area to further promote the city.
“The goal is to position Hong Kong as a hub for attracting high-quality talent,” said Lau, the former executive director of the Tourism Board.
The bay area refers to Beijing’s initiative to integrate Hong Kong, Macau and nine mainland Chinese cities into an economic powerhouse.
The director added the office, located in Wan Chai, would devise recruitment strategies and collaborate with various industries after analysing the 51 professions under the government’s “talent list”.
