Hong Kong is set to host its first-ever edition of an innovation conference under the Boao Forum for Asia, with some 800 global elites expected to discuss how to leverage the SAR's strengths to foster technological cooperation.
The International Science, Technology and Innovation Forum, which has previously been held in Macau, Guangzhou and Zhuhai, will take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on June 6 and 7.
Themed "Transitioning Towards the Future: Powered by Science, Technology & Innovation", the forum is co-hosted by the SAR government and the Boao Forum for Asia.
Key speakers will include secretary general of the Boao Forum for Asia Zhang Jun, a former prime minister of Finland, a former deputy prime minister of Thailand, as well as business executives and scholars from the mainland, the US and Vietnam.
A forum focusing on Hong Kong will also be held on June 7 to promote collaboration on global I&T development between the government, industry, academia and investors.

'HK universities are attractive to foreign students'
'HK universities are attractive to foreign students' Christine Choi says the strength of Hong Kong's higher education sector is reflected by the latest QS World University Rankings. Photo: RTHK University applications from non-local students have been flooding in, the education chief says, as Hong Kong seeks to attract international students whose study plans may have been affected by Washington's shifting policies towards their own tertiary institutions. Secretary for Education Christine Choi also pledged both funding and policy support for the tertiary sector so that the SAR can develop into an international hub for post-secondary education. In an interview marking the third anniversary of Chief Executive John Lee's administration, Choi said local universities have already made offers to dozens of students having second thoughts about studying in the United States. "The institutions have responded quickly to the government's call to assist these students. They provided different convenience measures based on their own situation, including a dedicated email address for interested students wishing to make enquiries," she said. As of late last month, eight universities funded by the University Grants Committee received 850 enquiries. Those, Choi revealed, translated into "hundreds" of applications, while some schools even reported a near two-fold jump in the number of applicants. Around 40 offers have since been made altogether. According to the latest QS World University Rankings, five SAR institutions made it to the top 100, led by the University of Hong Kong at 11th, up six places from the previous year. "The results are very encouraging. Nearly all of our universities have recorded a major improvement, including our first University of Applied Sciences," she said, referring to the self-financing Hong Kong Metropolitan University which made its debut in the rankings in the 781–790 range. "This demonstrates the strength of Hong Kong's higher education sector. We have what it takes to attract world-class scholars." Choi also brushed off suggestions that the government is scaling back support to the institutions, after the UGC-funded universities were asked to return HK$4 billion in grants to the government. "Our support to universities goes beyond funding. For example, if you look at our policies and resources, it seems rather unfair to focus only on the return of that HK$4 billion," she argued. "We've relaxed the quota for postgraduate students, and for that purpose we allocated additional resources to the universities, and boosted our scholarship programmes. All these measures benefited the institutions. We also have the new round of Research Matching Grant Scheme coming up." Choi emphasised the government's determination to lure in more overseas students, citing a new Development Bureau initiative to encourage private developers to convert hotels and commercial buildings into student dormitories.

HKers get a treat on SAR anniversary
HKers get a treat on SAR anniversary Discounts of up to 29 percent are available at more than 3,800 eateries around town. Photo: RTHK Hongkongers have been enjoying discounts and freebies that are on offer on the 28th anniversary of the SAR. On Tuesday, more than 3,800 restaurants rolled out discounts of up to 29 percent, and for some eateries, the campaign will last for an entire week. At lunch time, there were queues at a local chain restaurant taking part in the campaign. A customer surnamed Lee said he was here because of the cheaper meals. "Because they have a discount for the celebration... If you don't have the discount, I will go away, I won't queue up here," he said. But Dyujoy did not learn about the offer until an RTHK reporter told him about it. "I didn't know about this discount... so it would be better if it's more advertised, so that we know that there's a discount going on." The number of establishments joining the scheme was up from about 2,000 a year ago. Simon Wong, president of the Hong Kong Federation of Restaurants and Related Trades, said he hopes discounts offered by restaurants would boost revenue by about 10 percent. "Due to the effect of last year's July 1 campaign, more restaurants have joined this year. "We also see an increase in people flow in malls, and they are also spending more in restaurants." As for public transport, several ferry services are free, as are tram rides. Foreign domestic helper Elma said she usually takes the train to go from Central to Causeway Bay, but this time she opted for the tram instead. "[The] more faster [option] is the MTR. But now that the tram is free, I take the tram going here." The MTR Corporation, for its part, is giving away 71,000 e-single journey tickets through a lucky draw. Many people also flocked to museums across the city, including the Hong Kong Palace Museum, which offer free admission, along with various indoor and outdoor facilities operated by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department that are available free of charge. Attractions such as Ocean Park and Ngong Ping 360 have also rolled out ticket discounts.
