The Microsoft "Cloud and Mobile Technology Incubation Program" launched in 
Zhaoqing will not only provide relevant professional incubation services for 
excellent incubation projects, but also introduce Microsoft's leading market 
resources and technical support worldwide, said Microsoft Innovation Alliance's 
chief strategy officer Dai Ziting. 

Feng Jianlin, general manager of the Science and Innovation Center of Heungkong 
Group and CEO of Unicorn Field, said that as an independent brand within the 
science and innovation industry section of Heungkong Group, Unicorn Field, 
relying on the Heungkong International Technology Innovation Center, is

of a science and innovation ecosystem in the city. "Our unique pyramid enabling 
system is a nurturing platform for accelerating the growth of businesses and 
facilitating the transformation of local industries by connecting all the

The Microsoft "Cloud and Mobile Technology Incubation Program" - Zhaoqing Cloud 
and Mobile Application Incubation Platform (Unicorn Field - Zhaoqing) will 
officially start operation, leveraging the advantages in terms of R&D simply by 
being located in Zhaoqing, while being well-integrated into high-tech and 
strategic emerging industries such as intelligent manufacturing, energy 
conservation, environmental protection and electric vehicles. The platform will 
focus on cloud computing, the Internet of Things, big data, artificial 
intelligence and 5G, introduce and incubate innovation and entrepreneurship 
teams and businesses, and provide them with professional services such as 
start-up space, shared facilities, technical services, consulting services, 
investment and financing, entrepreneurship guidance, and resource exchanges.  

Zhaoqing is one of the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta and one of the key 
urban conglomerations in terms of the development of the Guangdong-Hong 
Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. With an abundant availability of office space and 
its geographical location connecting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay 
Area with the greater southwest region of China, Zhaoqing is also closely 
connected to Hong Kong. With the build out of the Greater Bay Area, the city 
plans make full use of its advantages to attract high-end resources from Hong 
Kong, accelerate its industrial transformation, and develop its economy 
especially through the application of scientific and technological solutions. 
Zhaoqing is planning to build the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area 
(Zhaoqing) Special Cooperation Pilot Zone, which has already been preliminarily 
approved by relevant provincial administrations of Guangdong. Hong Kong chief 
executive Carrie Lam, who attended the 21st meeting of the Hong Kong-Guangdong 
Co-Operation Joint Conference in Guangdong on 16-17 May, paid a special visit 
to Zhaoqing. On May 19, the Town Planning Board of Hong Kong also undertook an 
inspection tour of Zhaoqing, "In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the 
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Zhaoqing) Special Cooperation Pilot 
Zone and the planning and construction of Zhaoqing Hong Kong City". The Hong 
Kong Polytechnic University and The Open University of Hong Kong both plan to 
set up campuses in Zhaoqing, according to public sources.
