Last month, the government announced the "Outline for the Development of the Hong Kong Park in the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone", proposing a number of innovative policies to promote circulation in the park. A think tank convener believes that the cooperation zone can serve as an ideal demonstration for citizens and the industry to observe how cross-border data can meet the needs of different industries and services.
Observe how to effectively manage and protect data
The Hetao Cooperation Zone is one of the major cooperation platforms between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao under the country's "14th Five-Year Plan". The "Outline" proposes to promote the flow of personnel, materials, funds and data between the two parks, and build it into an important source for the country to cultivate new quality productivity. Poon Hok-chi, co-convener (research) of Democratic Ideas, gave an example that the "Greater Bay Area International Clinical Trials Institute" will inevitably involve a large amount of data and personal information, which may need to be transferred to university research institutions, scientific researchers, enterprises and other upstream and downstream of the entire industrial chain. He also pointed out that all companies need a "laboratory site" to try to apply technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence, and the Hetao Cooperation Zone is an ideal experimental platform.
He believes that the Hetao Cooperation Zone can become a "cluster" to allow citizens and the industry to observe how cross-border data can meet the business needs of various industries. "Everyone can see how to effectively manage and protect data, and this mechanism can help The opening of the data market will be a landmark example." He described the district as a "demonstration unit" to show the public how cross-border data management can be properly implemented, which will help support local technology and overall economic development.
