Dynano Semiconductor Establishes Headquarters in Hong Kong to Enhance Global Market Access and R&D Synergy

Mainland semiconductor materials technology start-up uses Hong Kong as headquarters to scale up operations

Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) announced today (November 21) that Dynano Semiconductor Technology Company Limited (Dynano Semiconductor) from the Mainland has officially established its foothold in Hong Kong as its headquarters. It aims to efficiently integrate the Chinese Mainland's manufacturing capacity, Hong Kong's international capital, and overseas cutting-edge technology, creating a synergistic model of "research and development (R&D) in Hong Kong, pilot production in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), and access globe markets".

Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion of InvestHK Ms Loretta Lee welcomed Dynano Semiconductor's official establishment in Hong Kong. She said, "By setting up its headquarters in Hong Kong, Dynano Semiconductor has taken a significant step in expanding their overseas operations. It also highlights Hong Kong's increasingly important role as an innovation and technology hub and international business centre. I wish them great success and hope they leverage Hong Kong to explore more overseas markets."

The Chief Technology Officer of Dynano Semiconductor, Professor Huang Mingxin, indicated that Dynano Semiconductor, as one of the first projects in the HKU Techno-Entrepreneurship Academy, has already laid a solid foundation in research. The start-up plans to leverage Hong Kong's geographic advantage to tap into European and Japanese markets, using the city as a "transformation hub" to commercialise its research results.

He said, "Hong Kong, as an international innovation hub, has a vibrant ecosystem, which is a crucial base for our development. The city offers a robust intellectual property protection system, access to global high-end industrial chain resources, and a well-established industry-academia-research mechanism that connects universities, enterprises, and markets. This helps us quickly achieve technological implementation and business scaling, bringing laboratory breakthroughs into industrial scenarios more efficiently."

He added, "Leveraging the opportunities arising from the deep industrial integration in the GBA, Dynano Semiconductor has developed a fast track of 'R&D in Hong Kong, incubation in Shenzhen'. Hong Kong will serve as our global hub for industry-academia-research resources, acting as the connector that connects the University of Hong Kong, international top-tier research institutions, and the semiconductor industry chain. It will be responsible for linking up with overseas advanced equipment suppliers and brands, ensuring that technology meets market demands."

Professor Huang also revealed that the start-up has successfully completed seed and angel rounds of funding last year. Recently, it has built a 100 000-level and 10 000-level cleanroom and introduced several high-end precision pieces of equipment. These developments lay a solid foundation for future technological research and product mass production, marking a new phase of mass production for the start-up. With a more comprehensive R&D environment and industrial capacity, Dynano will continue to focus on breakthroughs in key semiconductor technologies and its industrial applications.

ExCo Non-official Members congratulate successful launch of manned Shenzhou-23 spacecraft

The following is issued on behalf of the Executive Council Secretariat:

Non-official Members of the Executive Council (ExCo) today (May 24) warmly congratulate the successful launch of the Shenzhou-23 manned spaceship. They extend their highest respect to all crew members, including Dr Lai Ka-ying, the first payload expert from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).

The Convenor of ExCo Non-official Members, Mrs Regina Ip, said, "This year marks the beginning of the National 15th Five-Year Plan. This mission is the first manned spaceflight during the 15th Five-Year Plan period and the first time a Hong Kong expert has participated, which is a truly momentous occasion. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the country for providing Hong Kong's innovation and technology talent with this invaluable opportunity to take part in the country's aerospace endeavours. Dr Lai has successfully undergone the rigorous selection and training process to become one of the country's fourth batch of astronauts, and China's fourth female astronaut to reach space, contributing Hong Kong's strength to the national aerospace endeavours. She has exemplified the Lion Rock spirit of rising to challenges with resilience and perseverance. Her courage and determination are truly admirable, and all Hong Kong citizens are immensely inspired and proud of her. The understanding and support of her family are also essential for her to participate in this mission with resolution. I am deeply grateful for their support and commitment.

"The HKSAR Government is actively developing Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology centre and supporting promising research projects through various funding schemes. As an example, the Multi-Spectral Imaging Carbon Observatory (MUSICO) camera, developed under a project led by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and funded by the Government's Innovation and Technology Support Programme Special Call on Aerospace Technology, has successfully arrived at China's Tiangong Space Station, becoming Hong Kong's first scientific payload aboard the station. This fully demonstrates Hong Kong's innovation and technology edge and talent advantages."

Non-official Members of the Executive Council expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the country for its high recognition of Hong Kong's innovation and technology talent, development and achievements, as well as its profound emphasis, care and support for Hong Kong's scientific and technological development. They firmly believe that the HKSAR Government will seize this historic moment to nurture more outstanding innovation and technology talent for the country and Hong Kong, and better integrate into and serve the country's overall development.
