Pooling Talent
38. A larger pool of talent can boost economic development and competitiveness.
39. In recent years, we have rolled out a number of measures, including the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS), to trawl for talent. In the past year or so, more than 140 000 applications were approved under various talent admission schemes. About 100 000 of them have already arrived in Hong Kong. The Labour and Welfare Bureau will review the relevant arrangements in the middle of this year to ensure the competitiveness of these measures and their effectiveness in addressing our manpower demand.
40. The median average age of successful applicants of the TTPS is 35. Over 60 per cent of them are married, and most of them have brought their families to Hong Kong. More than half of those who have been in Hong Kong for at least half a year are employed, and their median monthly income is about $50,000.
41. The Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) is committed to attracting talent from the Mainland and overseas, providing one-stop support services to help them settle here. The HKTE will organise a Global Talent Summit and the Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area High‑quality Talent Development Conference in May. Their aim is to promote Hong Kong's advantages as an international talent hub, enabling the flow of talent among the cities of the GBA.
