Two wet laboratory buildings in the first phase of Hong Kong’s Hetao innovation hub are fully leased, Permanent Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Kevin Choi Kit-ming said on Saturday. South China Morning Post reported that Choi, who chairs the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop, made the statement during a radio programme.
As of the end of May, some 90 enterprises had signed contracts for space in the hub, which forms part of the Northern Metropolis megaproject.
Virtually all floor space in the two wet laboratory buildings has been leased out, Choi said. Mainland Chinese companies account for about 51 per cent of the tenant companies, local Hong Kong enterprises for around 35 per cent and overseas companies for roughly 14 per cent. Overseas tenants include firms from South Korea, Switzerland and Finland.
About 10 of the tenant companies are listed leading corporations, while around 70 per cent are start-ups.
