Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation Source of Innovations – RFID opportunities in Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta

Hong Kong Panorama Views

Gateway to China Since 150 years ago

4 Asia at Night Hong Kong Pan Pearl River Delta Covering Area: 2 Million Square Kilometers GDP in this region: > One Trillion U.S. Dollars by 2010 “9 + 2”

Next Generation Supply Chain Opportunities for Hong Kong & Pan-Pearl River Delta Gateway to backend manufacturing cities with high concentration of buying/management offices for sourcing & logistics support Manufacturing base with concentration of contract manufacturers Hong Kong – A Sourcing & Logistics Hub in Pan Pearl River Delta

Next Generation Supply Chain Opportunities for Hong Kong and Pan Pearl River Delta Potentials of Pan-Pearl River Delta  PPRD accounts for 40% of China’s GDP  Out of US$ billion of export from PPRD in 2004, HK accounted for US$258.9 billion (over 60%)  130,000 enterprises set up by HK entrepreneurs in Pan-PRD; 80,000 factories in Guangdong set up by Hong Kong businesses; about 50% of them are outward processing operations for textiles and clothing, electronic products, toys, clocks and watches.  Pan-PRD (9 provinces + HK & Macau) covers both the upstream and downstream of the supply chain with business activities spanning from natural resources exploration, manufacturing services, to marketing and logistics services  The vision of the “Internet of Things” is to harmonize the logistics movement with information flow forming an important pillar of the Pan-PRD region

 Guangdong / HK Technology Collaboration Funding Scheme (TCFS)  Introduced on 04 Sep  HKSAR Govt provides funding scheme to support 6 projects in the area of RFID technology  EPCglobal HK secured the largest project under the scheme  R&D Centre on Supply Chain and Logistics Enabling Technology with RFID as key focus  5 year span industry support plan initiated by government Hong Kong Government RFID Initiatives Hong Kong Science Park Supply Chain Innovation Centre

Hong Kong Science Park HK$12 billion (US$1.5 billion) for HKSP Project in 3 Phases The Government has granted HK$3.3 billion for Phase I and HK$4 billion for Phase II The area provides the perfect environment for world- class companies to form technology clusters in four distinct areas: Information Technology / Telecommunication Electronics Precision Engineering Biotechnology
