Customs YES organises Shenzhen Qianhai Youth Entrepreneurship Exploration Day

Customs YES organised the Customs YES X QMN Shenzhen Qianhai Youth Entrepreneurship Exploration Day in collaboration with the partnering organisation Quality Management Network (QMN) today (January 17). Led by the Assistant Commissioner (Administration and Human Resource Development) of Customs and Excise, Ms Phoebe Wong, a delegation of 51 youth from Customs YES and QMN visited innovation and technology (I&T) companies and a start-up incubation base in Qianhai, Shenzhen, to gain insights into the latest developments in the low-altitude economy and explore youth entrepreneurship opportunities in the Greater Bay Area.

The delegation first visited a Drone Education Experience Centre in Shenzhen to learn about the latest developments in aerial photography technology, including its applications in power system inspection and emergency rescue. In addition, under the guidance of professional instructors, the participants took part in a robotics competition and experienced drone operation.

The delegation then visited the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub, where they learned about various facilitation measures supporting Hong Kong and Macao youth in pursuing entrepreneurship and career development on the Chinese Mainland. The participants also interacted with representatives of Hong Kong I&T start-up enterprises based at the hub to learn more about the latest developments in the low-altitude economy, and visited the Hong Kong Youth Short-Term Apartments which offers one-stop accommodation services for Hong Kong youth.

Customs YES will continue to organise various exchange activities to deepen youth's understanding on the latest developments in the country and Hong Kong's opportunities and contributions along the course.
