The two companies have now established a strategic partnership as sister zones and will develop exchange programs, strengthen cooperation of science and technology innovation and build an advanced, diverse and sustainable ecosystem.
"Our strategic partnership will provide more resources and opportunities for start-ups and entrepreneurs in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and help strengthen information exchange and resource integration," said Simon Chan Sai-ming, chairman of Cyberport.
"The MoU will also help implement our collaborations with universities in Shanghai, recommend talent for internships and start-up opportunities at Cyberport, improve innovative awareness and skills for students on the Chinese mainland, as well as expand the local talent pool for science and technology innovation, to better support Hong Kong's development as an international innovation and technology centre."
