The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) published the Global Innovation Index (GII) 2025 top 100 innovation clusters, among which the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster ranks first globally.
The top ranking this year reflects high international recognition of the innovative capacity of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). With the Mainland and Hong Kong ranking first and second respectively in Asia’s venture capital and private equity fund management, the Shenzhen–Hong Kong–Guangzhou cluster has excelled at channelling capital to support the translation of innovative ideas into material outcomes.
Hong Kong has been supporting the growth of start-ups and is committed to attracting world-class leading enterprises of cutting-edge technology and talent to establish their presence in Hong Kong, in order to enrich our international innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystem.
