It is the autumn recruitment window period. For many Hong Kong and Macao college students, the choice before them is not only which resume to submit, but also where to put the "first stop" of their career.
Recently, the Guangming District Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao Science and Technology Achievements Transfer and Transformation Base has continued to launch the "Moon Acquisition Plan" to link Hong Kong and Macao's scientific and technological innovation resources, linking many universities in Hong Kong and Macao, attracting batches of Hong Kong and Macao college students to enter Shenzhen Guangming, touch opportunities in real industrial scenarios, and anchor the future in full-chain incubation services. From "coming in" to "staying", more and more young people from Hong Kong and Macao regard light as the new coordinate for pursuing their dreams for the future.
Set up a platform to empower and make dreams come true
How can a robotic arm support the entrepreneurial dream of “smart tea drinking”? Lun Wenjing, a Hong Kong girl in her early 20s, found the answer in Guangming. Her fate with Guangming began with an inspection of a business location.
When she was studying at Shenzhen University a few years ago, Lun Wenjing came up with the entrepreneurial idea of "moving robotic arms into the tea industry" based on her keen observation of the robot market.
She started by learning the crafts and processes of a tea shop. She formed an interdisciplinary team, jointly raised the start-up funds, and assembled a prototype of an unmanned coffee kiosk in the laboratory. When it comes to bringing products to the market and developing them on a large scale, site costs, resource docking, and industrial supporting facilities are all realistic thresholds that stand in front of the start-up team.
After multiple comparisons and repeated inspections, Lun Wenjing and his team selected the Guangming District Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao Science and Technology Achievements Transfer and Transformation Base (hereinafter referred to as the “base”). The three-year venue rental subsidy and start-up capital provided by the base alleviated their cost pressure in the start-up period; from professional guidance, investment and financing docking to free booths at the Hi-Tech Fair, various resources were delivered to the team along the service channels, allowing them to concentrate on product research and development.
In just two years, the unmanned coffee kiosk has been iterated to version 6.0, and the AI ice cream robot has been launched simultaneously. The product covers more than 30 parks and business districts in multiple areas of Shenzhen. It has been unveiled on stages such as the 2026 China International Big Data Industry Expo and the Asia-Pacific Media High-end Forum.
With a self-developed software and hardware rate of nearly 90% and more than 30 core invention patents, this young entrepreneurial team from Hong Kong and Macao has a bright future and has taken a development path from laboratory technology research and development, standardized large-scale mass production, global commercial implementation to international layout.
The People's Daily reported the entrepreneurial story of Lun Wenjing and his team in a full page, and used the article "This hot land allows creativity to grow freely" to spread Guangming's practice of empowering young entrepreneurs in Hong Kong and Macao to more and further places.
Passing the torch from generation to generation, allowing talents to shine together
In Guangming, batches of young people from Hong Kong and Macao have followed entrepreneurial opportunities and grown up. After establishing a foothold, they have turned around and become guides, unleashing the agglomeration effect of "attracting talents with talents, bringing joy to those who are near and far away". Zhang Ruolin is one of the Hong Kong entrepreneurs who returned from studying abroad.
After entering the base in 2023, she led the team to deepen the business step by step from building a communication matrix covering 23 countries and more than 1,000 global KOLs to strengthening cross-border marketing business and helping more than 60 Chinese brands go overseas.
In 2025, it won the Bronze Award in the Modern Service and Cultural Creativity Track of the First Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Entrepreneurship Competition with its "International Digital IP Asset and Data Management Platform".
She talked about her entrepreneurial choices from London to Shenzhen at youth entrepreneurship exchange meetings, corporate symposiums and other activities; she took overseas talents who signed contracts to visit Shenzhen Bay Laboratory, Hongqiao Park, Guangming Overseas Chinese Hospital, etc., so that more young people from Hong Kong, Macao and overseas can see the development opportunities and prospects here.
Mak Chi-heng, a representative of the enterprises incubated at the base and a post-90s Hong Kong youth, also has this tacit understanding of leading the way. He has in-depth cooperation with national-level scientific research units (Medical Experimental Center of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences). He led his team to hold a large-scale innovative research forum in Shenzhen, exploring cutting-edge medical fields and scientific research innovations with medical experts such as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He was invited to participate in large-scale exhibitions, academic forums and scientific and technological achievement release events in the Mainland and Hong Kong many times.
He also has another identity - serving as a workplace mentor at activities related to employment and entrepreneurship guidance for Hong Kong and Macao youths. While sharing scientific research experience, he also explained cross-border commercial registration, intellectual property declaration, housing subsidy application and other small and big things in detail. He hopes that more people will understand this city's sincerity in providing comprehensive employment protection for Hong Kong and Macao youth.
People who come here bring others here, which is the best reputation of the city. They are not only the beneficiaries of the service, but also become a new connection bridge, attracting more and more young people from Hong Kong and Macao to come.
Plant thick and fertile soil to make the road to and from get wider and wider
An event can bring us closer; a full-cycle service ecology can give people a reason to stay. Shenzhen Guangming's support and services to young people from Hong Kong and Macao are not temporary enthusiasm, but constant companionship.
The "Month Recruitment Program" in the autumn recruitment season organizes study tours in conjunction with universities in Hong Kong and Macao, allowing students from Hong Kong and Macao universities to experience the vitality of the science and technology innovation industry, creative transformation paths, and policy support in a "walking classroom."
Regularly held science and innovation carnivals, creative markets, and industry salons help entrepreneurs build an easy and efficient docking platform.
In the base, full-cycle support such as commercial registration, fiscal and tax laws, resource docking, and market expansion promotes projects from incubation to transformation. These gentle and silent services cover the youth of Hong Kong and Macao, and make the road between Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao wider and wider, from the first time they first meet the bright future to the time they take root.
The services that are implemented every step of the way have become a solid support for the youth of Hong Kong and Macao to pursue their dreams with peace of mind; batches of young people who have taken root in the bright future have gathered together to form the youthful momentum for the Science City's rapid growth. People and cities go in both directions and grow together, which is a vivid epitome of the integrated development of Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao.
