46 Under the “Investment management within Central Budget for developing Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Yangtze River Delta regional economic integration” released
in April 2021 by the National Development and Reform Commission, priority should be given to Shenzhen-Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Co-operation Zone at the Loop. The main
initiatives they support include technology and innovation platforms with more participation from Hong Kong and Macao, as well as projects of other signature and significant areas of the
Greater Bay Area.
47 In 2019–2020, HKU, CUHK, and OHKF conducted a survey of 3,000 highly skilled individuals aged 18–59 from mainland China who were residing in Hong Kong. There were five options for
each question, ranging from “Very unlikely” (1) to “Very likely” (5). The figure shows that professional, scientific and technical talent’s willingness to stay in Hong Kong (short-term: 3.52;
long-term: 3.06) was below the overall average (short-term: 3.90; long-term: 3.46). That of talent with the highest education level of doctoral degree (short-term: 3.6; long-term: 3.1) was
significantly lower than that of master-degree holders (short-term: 3.8; long-term: 3.4) and that of bachelor-degree holder (short-term: 4.0; long-term: 3.6).
