CPD: Visit to the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park 港深創新及科技園 (19 September 2026)

On 19 September 2026, the HKIS QSD CPD Sub-Committee organised an insightful site visit to the Hong Kong–Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park (HSITP). The event gave participants a firsthand look at the development of a world-class innovation and technology hub and an industry–academia–research platform bridging Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. The session helped bridge the gap between large-scale technological infrastructure planning and practical quantity surveying workflows.

The visit was enriched by presentations from Sr Kenneth Chan, Associate Director (Contracts Management), and Sr Sammuel Yung, Manager (Contracts Management), both from HSITP's Project Development Division. Drawing on their extensive expertise in project management and cost control, Sr Chan and Sr Yung provided invaluable insights into the commercial ex*****on of this flagship development.

During the site visit, participants toured HSITP's Visitor Centre, Wet Laboratory, and Talent Accommodation, gaining firsthand exposure to the state-of-the-art facilities supporting Phase I, where Buildings 8, 9, and 11 are already operational and five additional buildings are slated for completion by late 2026. The technical sharing session highlighted critical quantity surveying insights, addressing complex procurement strategies, specialised laboratory fit-out considerations, and contract management challenges unique to cross-boundary innovation hubs.

Sr Mandy Ng, Vice Chairman of the HKIS QSD, Sr Betty Lo, Chairperson of the HKIS QSD CPD Sub-Committee cm Council Member of the HKIS QSD, presented certificates of appreciation to Sr Kenneth Chan and Sr Sammuel Yung for their exceptional contributions and warm hospitality.

The HKIS QSD CPD Sub-Committee extends its sincere gratitude to all participants who contributed to the dynamic discussion during the visit.
