Mr Chan visited two technology companies in Silicon Valley in the morning.
The two companies are engaged in research and development (R&D), as well as plastic materials recycling for reuse, respectively. For the latter, Mr Chan was briefed by the founders and management on their patented technologies, and toured their R&D facilities. Mr Chan introduced to them Hong Kong's policies in promoting innovation and technology, and measures to attract enterprises and talent. He also encouraged them to set up R&D and production bases in Hong Kong, and use Hong Kong as a platform to explore Mainland China and Asian markets.
In the evening, Mr Chan attended a reception hosted by the California-China Climate Institute, and exchanged views with Mainland and international guests who participated in the Bay to Bay Dialogue between the California Bay Area and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the US-China High-Level Event on Subnational Climate Action.
