Leveraging on FHKI’s industry network, more local and multi-national enterprises would be encouraged to support VTC and its VPET initiatives, thereby strengthening talent exchange between Hong Kong and the GBA, and injecting new momentum and contributing to the sustainable growth of Hong Kong, the GBA and the country.
FHKI Chairman Dr Steve CHUANG welcomed the collaboration between FHKI and the VTC, highlighting its significance in fostering cross-sector partnerships and driving the growth of innovation & technology (I&T) and new industrialisation efforts in Hong Kong. He remarked, "For 65 years, FHKI has driven industry advancement and talent development. As Hong Kong navigates a pivotal moment in its I&T journey, bolstering our local talent pipeline is paramount.

This synergistic partnership will cultivate a skilled workforce that meets the evolving needs of industries in Hong Kong and the GBA."
VTC and FHKI share a common vision in promoting VPET and supporting talent development. The MoU aims to strengthen collaboration in talent cultivation by implementing various exchange programmes and joint initiatives.
