Plan set for cooperation zone
The document defines the strategic position of the zone as a new platform to boost Macao's economic diversification, a new space for Macao residents to live and work, and a new model to enrich the practice of "one country, two systems", as well as new ground for building up the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The plan stipulates that by 2035, the zone's economic strength and technological competence will be greatly enhanced, with an efficient public service system and a better collaboration mechanism between Hengqin and Macao. The new zone's mission of promoting Macao's economic diversification will also be basically fulfilled.
The plan proposes to develop scientific and technological research and high-end manufacturing in the zone, highlighting industries such as integrated circuits, electronic components, new materials, new energy, big data, artificial intelligence, the internet of things and biomedicine.
