IT Solution Directory linkup between Guangzhou and Hong Kong

Today in Tianhe Software Park in Guangzhou, we officially launched the cooperation between the Tianhe Software Park, People's Government of Tianhe District, Bureau of Foreign Trade & Economic Cooperation of Guangzhou Municipality, and the Hong Kong Information Technology Federation.


[I was making the keynote speech at the launch ceremony.]

The cooperation has linked up our IT Solution Directory in Hong Kong, which was funded by the SME Development Fund of the Trade and Industry Department, with the newly established counterpart in Guangzhou, namely "IT资源网". The project initiation was described in the following passage taken from the "IT资源网":

"为推动穗港两地软件业的交流与发展,探索两地企业共同拓展海外市场的有效途径,在广州市经贸局的牵头组织下,广州天河科技园和香港科技资讯商会经多次协商,为充分利用两地现有的企业资源和数据资源(包括项目、技术和人才资源),以达到优势互补、共同开拓海外市场之目的,提出了共同建立一个“IT资源网”平台的设想。该服务平台建设包括扩大穗港企业的发展空间、实现企业各种资源共享、完善穗港两地产业整合和产品的提升、降低企业开发和运营成本、全面实现优势互补、为实现大珠三角共同发展给政府提供决策支持等内容。 在CEPA协议框架精神指引下,穗港大大加快了两地合作项目的步伐。2003年10月28日,广州天河科技园与香港科技资讯商会正式签署了《广州天河软件园与香港资讯科技商会关于建立穗港软件企业共享平台的合作备忘录》。其宗旨是:在CEPA下,通过建立资源共享网,实现两地科技企业双赢。为了使共享网项目能有效地推进,经相关部门按照一定程序筛选后,确定了广州华微明天软件技术有限公司来承担本项目技术开发和维护工作。"



It was satisfying to take the project from the initial funding application and the development of the IT Solution Directory in Hong Kong, to the discussion and then signing of the MOU with the Tianhe and Guangzhou partners, and finally to the launch event. A small part I hope we have contributed to the industry, and to the closer relationship between IT companies from Hong Kong and Guangzhou.
