Abstract
SummaryHong Kong has achieved a remarkable rate of economic growth in the last half of the twentieth century, and is widely acknowledged as an important driver of development in South China. The territory occupies a unique position as an international trade and financial hub on the Chinese border, in which capacity it has been well served by the entrepreneurial drive and resilience of its population. Extensive exploitation of technology and innovation in the organization of international production networks have fueled Hong Kong’s economic success – but the risks associated with these features of the innovation system also threaten to undermine the territory’s future growth. This paper discusses the nature of the global and regional linkages characterizing Hong Kong’s innovation system – particularly its integration with a rapidly developing innovation system in China – and its move towards an innovation hub status.
