Ms Angel Ng and the Hon Elizabeth Quat have been reappointed as members of the Board of the HKSTPC for a period of two years with effect from July 1, 2023.
The Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Professor Sun Dong, said, "As the organisation that manages Hong Kong's important innovation and technology (I&T) flagship, the HKSTPC, under the guidance of the Board, has been cultivating a vibrant I&T ecosystem in Hong Kong through providing I&T infrastructure facilities, introducing measures to incubate start-ups and support technology enterprises, as well as nurturing and pooling I&T talent. The HKSTPC is proactively taking forward a number of I&T infrastructure projects, including Phase 2 of the Science Park Expansion Programme and the Microelectronics Centre in Yuen Long InnoPark. I am confident that with their devotion, extensive experience and professional knowledge, members of the Board will continue to guide the HKSTPC to fulfil its public mission effectively and further strengthen Hong Kong's competiveness as a leading international I&T hub."
The tenure of four incumbent members of the Board, Ms Cordelia Chung, Mr Kent Ho, Dr Kim Mak and Mr Chen Shuang, will also end today.

I sincerely thank them for their valuable advice on the HKSTPC and strong support to the I&T development in Hong Kong," Professor Sun said.
The HKSTPC, which began operation in 2001, manages the Hong Kong Science Park, three InnoParks and the InnoCentre. It provides a comprehensive range of services to support I&T enterprises and to nurture start-ups, as well as land and relevant facilities for the industry.
