Abstract
This report examines the significance of the new space economy and the implications for industries in Hong Kong, education and research, and public policies. As an international financial centre with good access to venture capital and entrepreneurial talents, and as an international innovation hub in South China with to pranking universities and research institutions, Hong Kong is well-positioned to become an active participant in the new space economy. Based on documentary research, comparative policy analysis, and inputs collected from more than 30 stakeholders in various industrial and educational sectors, the research team co-led by Prof Alfred Tat-Kei Ho and Professor Yong Yang at City University of Hong Kong examines why Hong Kong should pay serious attention to the global development of the new space economy and considers what policies and cross-sectoral actions should be pursued to help Hong Kong achieve a stronger competitive advantage in the long-run.
