According to Prof. Cheung, there are various career opportunities if you continue your studies at the Graduate School at CUHK, located in the Greater Bay Area (GBA). Emerging career opportunities include technology and innovation (53%), trade and logistics (45%), financial services (44%), real estate (32%), and infrastructure (30%).
Furthermore, many specialized professions are in high demand, particularly technology, infrastructure, and professional services. In the technology sector, there is a high demand for tech-savvy talent. In the infrastructure sector, the demand is for the development of smart cities and green living or transportation hubs, and in the field of professional services, the demand is high on digital transformation consulting.
The Greater Bay Area itself is located in South China. GBA consists of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau.
The GBA has two Special Administrative Regions consisting of Hong Kong and Macau. The GBA is a world-class bay area with the largest, most populous land mass, and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) approaches Tokyo Bay. This is because Hong Kong has a central location easily connected to other islands.
The GBA’s GDP is larger than South Korea, Russia, and Brazil. However, per capita GDP, service industry ratios, and the number of fortunes of 500 companies are far from the world-class bay area (San Francisco, Tokyo, New York). This means GBA can develop various industries. With this info session, Prof. Cheung hopes to attract educated talent to Hong Kong, collaborating in emerging industries in these integrative cities.
“Hong Kong is a small place, but it can compete globally because its advantages, including one country with two systems (the rule of law and common law practice), commercial prudence (free trade and low taxes), internationalization (meetings for western countries meet eastern countries and increasing population from Southeast Asia),” said Prof. Cheung.
