The R&D work will focus on biotechnology, AI, and sustainability engineering and technology.

The Innovation and Technology Commission has launched the 2024 Mainland-Hong Kong Joint Funding Scheme, inviting proposals for collaborative applied research and development (R&D) projects between institutions in Hong Kong and Mainland China.

With a focus on fostering innovation in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and sustainability engineering and technology, the scheme encourages joint R&D efforts that span both regions.

Moreover, applicants are required to simultaneously submit proposals to both the commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST).
