Talent Circulation in the GBA

Details

An economy's economic growth largely depends on human capital, thus the success of the Greater Bay Area development hinges on talent circulation in the region. While the GBA youth employment scheme provides job opportunities for Hong Kong youth to work in the region, the government falls short of policy initiatives to address the looming talent crunch.

Who will benefit the most from the GBA development? What policy coordination should each GBA city implement to enhance the flow of talent, including foreign talent? What are the possible talent strategies for Hong Kong as a talent hub in the GBA? How to build a quality workforce for a more innovative economy? Please hear a panel of experts as they will discuss the talent landscape in the region.
