Education Industry

148. Hong Kong's post‑secondary education sector is highly international and diversified.  We boast five of the world's top 100 universities and a pool of first‑rate R&D talent.  We will launch a new round of Research Matching Grant Scheme totalling $1.5 billion to attract more organisations to support research endeavours of institutions.

149. The Government will host more international education conferences and exhibitions to highlight Hong Kong's position as an international post-secondary education hub.  We will step up promotion of the "Study in Hong Kong" brand to attract more outstanding non-local students.  The quota of the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme will be increased to 400 places per year.

150. Self-financing post-secondary institutions complement publicly-funded institutions in providing diversified articulation pathways for young people.  The Government has launched a new round of the Land Grant Scheme and the Start-up Loan Scheme, under which land sites are granted at nominal premium with interest-free loans, so as to support capacity expansion and quality enhancement of self-financing institutions.
