The guests deeply analyzed Hong Kong's unique role as a super connector in the development of the GBA and discussed how to create more development opportunities for international talents. Mr. Ip stated that Hong Kong faces a shortage of cybersecurity talents and needs to strengthen cultivation and recruitment to alleviate the talent shortage in Hong Kong and the GBA, laying a solid foundation for cybersecurity across various industries.

This event provided participants with abundant career development opportunities and promoted talent exchange and cooperation in the GBA. Through interactions with industry leaders and experts, participants were able to gain deep insights into industry trends, expand their networks, and receive valuable career advice.
As an international financial center, Hong Kong possesses rich talent resources. However, with the intensification of global competition, Hong Kong faces challenges of talent loss and human resource shortages. As a leading industry organization, HKCNSA will continue to play its role as a bridge and connector, building a broader platform for talent exchange and cooperation in the GBA, and working hand in hand with various sectors in the GBA to create a new platform for talent development.
